You could get the 1887 with damascus barrels. I am not sure if the 1901 had that ophtion. The 1887 could be had with 3 grades of damascus--good, fine, and finest. I once owned serial 13, 1887 with fine damascus barrels in 12 gauge. Did a writeup for the WACA magazine about 20 years ago on the gun. Neat guns. Just for the hell of it, about 5 years ago, I purchased a Chinese replica of the 1887. Made for cowboy action shooting. Extremely well made gun, produced on cnc machining. I do not think they are made any more.
