Yeah, the barrels are not the only issue with the gun from an originality and correct finish standpoint. I would also be in the “leave it be and save your money” camp. But if you really want to see that trist pattern, then have at it.

Not a bad looking shooter. I would save my money and leave it as is.

Incidentally, it doesn’t have Damascus barrels as you reported, it haw Twist barrels as indicated on the top rib.
