This is the barrel flat of my 32” Damascus 20 on a#2 frame. Gun was delivered in 1919 as a 12 gauge according to the letter. Sometime after 1920 the Damascus barrels were put on, but whether this was done at the factory cannot be documented. Great dove gun

Yes, that’s correct Charlie. The gun weighs about 9 lbs. The flat, as I see it, is stamped D4. Barrels were apparently meant for a C-Grade.

I just found one up here in Canada. Grade 2 Damascus 20 gauge with 30" barrels on an 0 frame. Looking forward to the research letter.

That gun would look very nice back beside a certain DH 3 frame 12 with 28” barrels I happen to know of
