Does that Serial number on the barrel lug match the gun? I think I see some signs of old number removal and then re stamping.

Though it is effective, One rarely needs vinagar to confirm if barrels are blued Damascus.
Nearly every set of blued Damascus barrels I have seen, the pattern can be seen when held right in the light. Rust bluing MAY cover the pattern better than cold or hot bluing.

I think you got a good candidate for a custom upgrade there Thomas. However, I might question the integrity of those barrels a bit.
