Thomas: I also believe those are blued Damascus barrels. Put a dab of white vinegar on a soft cloth and rub an area underneath the forend (where it won't show). This will remove the blue and the Damascus 'scrolls' should be visible, as they are on the watertable.
What is the wall thickness?

A GH with blued Damascus



These Twist barrels show the faint sleeve weld line with the rib re-engraved "Spec. Steel"

Dean, Whatever you do, absolutely do not read TPS. Carefully cut pages 256 and 258 from TPS and burn them without glancing at the info provided.

Hi there Erick - I'm not real good at guessing what people are trying to say when they don't just come right out and say it.... What is it you're saying to me Erick?

PS, I cheated and read those pages and still don't know what your meaning is.

Best, Dean

Drew: thanks for that. I did give that a try and after trying it did not produce the results I was hoping and did find the fine line where it had been sleeved. It is now a 20 ga. O frame 26 inch steel barrels VH that weighs 6.60 and has nice wood with a single trigger and is a dream to shoot and will see some action on quail probably. Thomas

And then there's that "D" stamp. Glen Hoffaker had a 20 gauge Damascus V. However, the rib stamping didn't look like this one. I last saw Glen's gun in VA about five years ago.
