Damascus barrels

[Dennis]

Drew,

We could both be half right. If you check out Bowen Classic Arms, then to Workshop, they to both Sedgley 45 Vaquero and also Damascus Barrel Single Action Army both display Damascus barrels which are not from an old shotgun barrel. On the SAA Bowen says it is a steel liner within a Damascus shell barrel. The handgun I saw from Ross Seyfried years ago had, I believe, a totally Damascus barrel but I have not been able to find the article.

"This particular gun started life as United States Firearms Single-Action Army model in .45 Colt. The composite damascus barrel sports an overlay of English gun tube material..."

1916 patent with a similar idea; fluid steel barrel within a Damascus sleeve

[C.O.B.]

I have three damascuss fixed blade knives. They hold an edge very well and will unzip a deer in no time Galazan offers some very nice ones as does our own Paul Harm from LaPeer. I have two of his knives and couldn't be happier with them....unless I had another one
