Neat gun, it appears the barrels are now steel? A letter would be interesting to see if they were a factory replacement.

They appear to be fluid steel Craig yet the under rib in the last pic is damascus.

The gun appears to be a well used and neglected, but overall unmolested example. It is in a great configuration. The whole gun I am sure could benefit from a cleaning and freshening up. At very least, the rust on the barrels can be removed and neutralized with oil and a frontier pad. Anything more than that would require complete refinishing.

Yes Randy, the pattern is hard to see, but it is there. And a gun that early would be likely be damascus.

It is Damascus. In the fourth picture on the lower tube near the rib you can clearly see one star of the Damascus pattern. I was thinking a BH with composite barrels might have been Bernard but it it Damascus for sure.

Frontier 45 pad and oil slow and easy and you will be surprised. It will do no harm and will still be original. How are the bores?
