The sleeving job on the 12g. barrel set is nicer than the 20g. The seam in the rib is less visable and the profile from the new tubes up into the monoblock is nicer. Too bad that they removed the Damascus marking. These sleeve jobs was most likely to make Damasucs barrels "shootable" again.
Anotehr thing about sleeve jobs that bugs me is when they put an engraved ring around the joint to dress it up. A very good sleeve job will just show a line that should not stock out like a sore tumb if the profile is right. Anyway... If the quality of the sleeveing and the bluing on the barrels was better, I would say that $3k is not all that bad for a gun that has the versatility that a 12/20 set with modern chambers would have. But you might be pushing it in it;s current condtion. The rest of the gun looks nice from my house. hard to tell for sure.

About 5 years ago, I sold a sleeved 2 barrel set for $2,100.00 in a Jeff's outfitters canvas & leather case with all the extras. It was a G grade hammerless 1 frame damascus that both sets of barrels were sleeved by Westley Richards in England @ 1932 as proven by the import papers on the case it was shipped back to the US in. Ir was a 12-16 comba and in 100% better condition barrel wise than this gun. Pass and wait for something better in that price range IMHO Jim D

Guys thanks for all of your help. If nothing else I have gotten a great education on these guns. It is amazing what I didn't know a week ago that is stuck in my brain now.
