Bill Zachow, I had no idea that Bill Moran worked anywhere except at his forge. The old shop is now a museum, preserved as it was when Bill worked there. Yes, I knew Mr. Moran in the early seventies, brought him Damascus barrels to study when he was contemplating forging Damascus blades. Although known as the "Father of Damascus" in the knife collecting world, I don't believe he had forged a Damascus blade at the time I showed him an assortment of Damascus shotgun barrels in 1974. I could be wrong about that, however.
