No, but about 25 years ago I passed up buying an AHE Damascus 12 ga. that had an otter floating on its back in a kelp bed trying to crack open a clam with some sort of rock or stone. A Winchester collector named David Bichrest from Maine had taken it in trade against a scarce lever action, and said he was not having much luck selling it because of the 'dangerous' Damascus barrels. I think the asking price back then was around $2500 (*sob!*).
