Original barrel finish - Grade 2 Hammer Gun with Damascus Barrels

[B. Dudley]

And I would like to know how you know that the gun is “unfired”. That is a bolt statement for anyone to make about even a much more modern gun.

And if that was the case, how was it patterned without firing it?

The same goes with “never a screw turned”. Then how did they get them into the gun. I suppose that the screw was held still and the gun was turned down onto it. I would love to have seen that operation.

Brett, looks like a pretty nice Grade 2 hammer gun. Refinishing the barrels would look really nice. From what I see of the rest of the gun it looks in good shape. Just me , but I dont care for recase coloring guns. I also have a Grade 2 12 hammer with 30" barrels ser# 34275, so a little earlier than yours. I took a nice turkey with it this year. I spent 3 weeks in the UP this year grouse hunting, my 36th year up there.

Oh, and by the way, my 16 hammer that is on the home page picture currently has plum barrels--but it certainly has been redone.

I can assure you that the gun has been used and fired.

One more thing,.....the only difference between finishing in plum vs. black and white is that the barrels are boiled during the finishing process converting the brown iron oxide to black. Plum barrels are not boiled. It's as simple as that.
