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.

I once bought a 1903 GH 12 gauge that had blued over Damascus barrels.
I sent the barrels to Dale Edmonds for refinishing and the pattern was really interesting however, the tubes didn't match, in fact the different ribbands didn’t even match, which made me wonder if Parker had blued them for this very reason.

Having the barrels refinished cost me more than the gun. The 30" barrels had been cut to 27" and I used it exclusively for Skeet.

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

Anyone who thinks they can removing bluing and there will be original finish (damascus or case color) “hiding” underneath is seriously kidding themselves.
