On a driven shoot in Scotland in 2004, our host invited David Dryhurst to dinner as our guest. The opportunity to talk to a real gunmaker was one of the most informative and enlightening evenings I ever spent. At that dinner, David alluded to the most recent discovery of these Damascus barrels mentioned in this thread.
He likened the event to the exploration of the treasures of King Tut's tomb - "...wonderful things!". Later we found out that our host, a Greener fanatic, had contracted David to build the first 'post-modern' 28 ga. Greener game gun with Damascus barrels. It is a thing of beauty and a true work of art.
