OK, here goes. Refinishing Damascus barrels can be done without any harm to the engraving or other features of the receiver or other parts of the gun. If the Damascus redo does not come out well, it can be redone without any harm to the gun and its originality. Damascus pattern, done well, is not as hard to make look original as case color. Case color, done improperly, is hard to correct, and compromises the originality when redone. If I knew of someone who would refinish Damascus properly and stay in business long enough to do a few sets for me, I would be very happy.
