What Damasus pattern do you like best?

[C.O.B.]

This thread has thrown me into a quandary. I have several Damascus barreled guns and they are truly wonderful works of art. I have a CHE Damascus 20 that is still all original save for the replacement of the aged Silvers pad which was literally crumbling before my eyes. This is one of only 8 CHE 20's with 26 inch Damascus barrels but the barrels have taken on a lackluster silver finish as the pattern has all but faded away. I think they would really pop if refinished but she's only original once as they say. So what's the consensus refinish them and enjoy the beauty or leave them as is?

Thanks.

Fine with me.

I only wish I had taken some good pictures of the gun during the several years that I owned it.

Thank you Bill. Would it be possible to contact the current owner to obtain better images?

Drew,

I traded that gun (AAHE 16 gauge SN 112920) about 30 years ago for 3 fantastic Fox's. I would have no idea of where it is now or who owns it.

And I traded it thru a third party so I don't know who the new owner was.

Has anyone here know of its whereabouts or heard of it lately? I haven't.
