Well...

From Chuck: They were all black and white.

From Brian: Damascus barrels from any American maker would be black/white.


An all original unfired Grade 1 with Laminated Steel barrels I once owned that sure look "plum" to me.

Black and white Damascus can turn brown if the gun is kept in a climate with high humidity. I have a benchmark DH that had turned brown. You can restore some of the black and white by boiling the barrels. I did it with a few barrels. This doesn’t diminish the originality of the barrels, it just brings them back to more of what they looked like when they left the factory.
