Bill I was going to put some pictures of mine on but the computer kicked my but resized 3 times and it still talked back. If you want to look at some more barrels googal "circle fly wads". click on Damascus mine are the 2nd and 3rd picts from top. ch

Drew, what's the story about the faked up Bernard marking on the rib you pictured in the last post? What kind of steel was used in that set of barrels?

Bill - I think those Twist barrels upon which some doofus engraved 'Bernard' were discussed here a couple of years ago.

In the sixties, we used to see all sorts of remarked and partially reribbed Parker barrels to disquise sleeved and blued Damascus Parkers. Some of these mismarked guns would have value except for the markings. One example of a remarked sleeved gun that has not only value but character is my Lefever sleeved DH which was professionally remarked by Lefever, "Parker Brothers Meriden, Conn. Lefever Steel". The marking looks more like a Parker rib marking than the original. I have not seen another like it.
