How true that is. When I was a kid, we had a hammer Jannsen Sons & Co. that my dad said we must never shoot. Laminated barrels. I still have that gun (completely dismantled now) and after I get it all back together I will take it afield one day. I did get a nice damascus GHE that, after reading this forum years ago, I decided I'm going to give it a go. I was truly nervous about pulling the trigger but managed a few shots. The only fatality suffered was by a couple nice roosters. I have shot damascus now for several years, including Parkers and some English guns (oops does that make this an off-topic post?)
