My 1st Damascus!

[Woodcock survey]

Thank you, i have a 10 with that pattern under a cold blue that i have been thinking of having redone.

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

You should be able to take the cold blue off with a weak acid such as vinegar. The barrels may have good original patterning visible. Some people cold blued Damascus barrels to disguise them as fluid steel.

Thank you, i did that and found that the original finish had been removed and looked bad.
