I have read each article. The work they completed, with precision and attention to detail, was excellent. If only I had this information in my early days when I either passed on or sold a few really nice Parkers and other Damascus barreled guns on the old gunsmiths advice "wall hanger, shoot it and you'll lose your fingers". I remember, long ago, a particularly stunning Parker D that I could have purchased except for a gunsmith's opinion that he could detect a 'stretching' in the Damascus at the breech end so I passed. Sigh.
