Fine steel wool rubbed on the barrels with a lot of Hoppes No. 9 can remove oxidation from old damascus barrels and get them as good as they can be without refinishing. If they are shiny now, there are a couple good damascus refinishers.
Here is my 1911 GHE 12ga for comparision. The wood was lightly refinished and the barrels were redone by Dale Edmonds, 816 444 2040. The G grade was a step up from the basic Parker grade, the ejectors cost quite a bit extra, and these damascus G's were considered very nice guns, and still are. I use mine a fair amount.
Yes, most members are easterners but there are a few of us out here.
