suspect 20 Ga.
 

If my info is correct someone blued these barrels and changed the top rib to read Vulcan. I wait for your expert opinion. Thomas

Thomas, can you supply the serial number, and a complete picture of the barrel flats. Also a closeup what looks like a big D on the barrel flat might prove helpful.

Thomas I'm no expert but, that looks highly suspect. It might have read LAMINATED STEEL.

Mike: I thought it was damascus because of the D. It is a VH Thomas

Mike: The ser. No. Is 220380 and it isn't in the book and no letter is available Thomas

The D is for Damascus. I see the rosettes of damascus in the barrel flats so the barrels are Damascus and blued or are fluid steel sleeved to a Damascus "mono-bloc".

Gosh.. Barely percepticle change. Looks almost factory to the untrained eye. :)

Did they use a table fork for the engraving?

It is a sweet little gun that someone went to the trouble of changing and I wish they had left it alone. It is a 0 frame with 26 inch barrels and single trigger. I would have preferred damascus but it is what it is. I removed the trigger guard and all the no match so that is good. Thomas

if someone put the money into having it sleeved, leaving it alone may not have been a option.

the uneven stamping does detract from the repair though

its still a good looking gun to me..for what ever at some time somebody did this work to it.sure its a shame but heh i d be proud to have this little gun as it is....charlie
