Problem with damascus is they make every fluid steel barrel look like every other barrel.

What Dean said. This is another Grade 2 10g refinished by Brad Bachelder



Esp. at the breech of Jeff's barrels (ground less thin) there are very prominent black & white "stars" which makes this pattern particularly attractive to my eye

12g refinished by Dale Edmonds. Easy to see 2 wavy 'zipper' welds between the straight ribband edge welds = 3 iron
