Let’s not forget, a whole lot of shotguns had their Damascus barrels blacked over to look like fluid steel after fluid steel became popular. We’ve all seen them. I have a beautiful old Thomas Horsley with blacked Damascus barrels. I’ve chosen to leave them as is. However, removing the black and brining out the Damascus pattern under it certainly would make it more correct and I believe, add value. I simply wish to keep the gun as it came to me and enjoy it. To me, after learning some hard lessons, “just shoot it” is my default unless the gun is unsafe in its current condition.
