Yes, Dean you are correct. I was just saying these two of mine are nice examples for comparison but are hammer versions vs. hammerless.

Thanks Paul - They are stunning! Amazing black/white contrast!

If they have been refinished, do you know by whom?

Paul: I believe the top gun barrels are Damascus Twist found on an occasional P grade



Damascus Twist refinished by Breck Gorman which shows 2 end-on rods, demonstrating how the rod was 'stacked' - quite different than Twist.



Could you please post a close up of the pattern?

But what do the rib legends say they are?

Dale Edmonds did them 8-9 years ago, I’ve had them around 11-12 years.

Thanks Paul. Dale also refinished a set of Bernard barrels for me about that long ago that are also very high contrast.

Yw always did great work, did several of mine also. I would to find the Bernard barrels for my CH, at this point I’d settle for any I could find. Yours are beautiful!

I sold mine many years ago to a member who had an original two-barrel two-gauge CH but only had the 10 gauge barrels. My 12's snapped onto his gun like they were made for it. He was very pleased.

I hope someone will have a set for my 2 frame CH, I’ll keep searching till I find a set. I found a d-grade back in 2012 with a set but the guy wouldn’t part with them. I even offered a set of d-grade Damascus and wouldn’t budge. The search continues…
