There was a great small salesman's sample case about a foot long by two inches wide of English Damascus pattern barrel sections for sale at the Old Baltimore Show three weeks ago, with each pattern marked with a nice ceramic label in the lid, six pattern sections in all, from stub twist to "extra fine" quality. Really a quality collectors item priced at $2400 USD. Next best thing I ever saw was Dr. Gaddy's reference sample display that he assembled before he began his restoration process for Damascus refinishing on Parkers and other vintage American Damascus barreled guns. The hues and colors were fantastic.
