Very nice. Is that stub twist?

Just appeared on e-bay and looks to illustrate the same pattern

No Mills, they are "Plain Twist"

Here's a set of GH barrels also finished by Dale. I love the way the rib turned out.

Mike: Despite the rib marking, I believe your barrels are Damascus-Twist

How would one ever know his barrels were Damascus Twist when Parker Bros. only ever marked them Twist, Plain Twist, and Stub Twist?

More obvious pattern difference on these P grade barrels refinished by Brad
http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL.../386972891.jpg It would be clear if by chance an 'end-on' ribband is seen where tube segments were joined http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL.../365964409.jpg Tom Flanigan's refinished Parker Plain Twist with an 'end-on' ribband http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL.../309788257.jpg |

Here is a ribband on the same barrels
|
Drew I was wondering if you saw the pic in the post before this of the ribband? Can you tell if the barrels are damascus twist?
|
Yes Mike, I believe it is. The edges of the Twist iron & steel alternees are 'mushroomed' by mechanical deformation/hammering.
