Thanks Jerry. I am at a loss as to the DD stamp. Those barrels are not what is considered "finest Damascus" which I believe is known as '6-iron crolle'. Your barrels are fine Damascus and are most likely 3 or possibly 4-iron crolle. Nice gun none the less. Yes, it is worthy of being "cleaned up by a professional" but I would advise against a complete restoration. It looks like it could be tightened up as well as being cleaned up.
