Bill, the Simmons sleeved barrels I have seen are stamped "Simmons" on the barrel flats. Simmons advertised that their sleeved barrel sets and added vent ribs improved the functionality and modernized the looks of any gun. Somebody obviously agreed because a DHE 20 ga with original Titanic barrels but with added vent rib, new Simmons done Fajen stock and beavertail forend and white line pad sold for $12,000 several years ago. It was clearly modern and fancy and I decided to just stay with my old original condition beaters so I missed out.
