Other shotgun guys might tell you that the work done to the barrels is better overall, and a lot more would have told you that 20 or 30 years ago when that work was originally done. With the work done, the barrels could most likely handle any factory load that you wanted to put to it.
However, today the whole scare of Damascus barrels in shotgun circles is not really there. With the low pressure loads that are available, and plus additional knowledge. As a shooter, your gun is boosted in "value" due tot he barrel work. But as a collectors piece it is non-existent.
That barrel work would cost about $2 - $3k today. And there are not many doing it anymore.
