The gun shows where I found barrels to reunite were the Maryland Antique Arms Association Show at Baltimore, the Pennsylvania Gun Collectors Show at Monroeville, and the old Preston Jones Show, also at Baltimore. The last two were found in kegs of barrels filled with rusty surplus barrels. Gary found the barrels for the fourth gun at the Greensboro, NC show. I had bought that gun without barrels from PGCA board member John Davis who lives in Georgia. He took the Titanic Barrels off that gun for a second set for his BH gun and let the forend go with the barrels. The barrels that he had were later replacement barrels for the DH. The barrels that Gary sold to me were the original Damascus barrels for the DH that had been separated from the gun since the Titanics were installed. I will find out when that was done, maybe, when I get a PGCA letter. In the next couple of years, I may have another story to tell, if I'm lucky.
