Trio of refinished barrels

[Drew Hause]

Beautiful contrast Breck.
Remington called that pattern on 1894 C grades "Etoile 3. B.P."; Ithaca called it "American Flag"

The lopin lower left would be "American Flag"; lower 3rd is "Washington"



Remington also had an "Etoile 3. B.P." with very fine "stars" within the scrolls



This is a Parker with "Washington" and the "stars" within the scrolls are mostly tiny rectangles

[Drew Hause]

Here's another Damascus-Twist pattern with an end-on ribband



Steve Culver thinks the lopin was something like this, and that the "mushrooming" was from external hammering
