Look's like twist to me. But as to whether this mark is Samuel Buckley & Co, I defer to your expertise. Was Samuel Buckley a barrel Maker. Seems like whomever it was produced barrels for both Fox, Davis and others. And, I see references to that Sanderson had a US Office. But, as I do not have the book of British Marks appreciate any insight. A bit off topic but anytime we can identify a damascus or twist barrel I guess that information is useful to our historical understanding.
Now just need some of those smokey 10ga black powder shells. I am sure it would be fine with RST, but the smokey ones are so much more fun to shoot. ;-)
Yes, the barrels are Twist, and it is likely the 'rough forged tubes' were sourced in Belgium, and Samuel Buckley was the import agent.
The mark may also appear on Damascus and steel barrel Lefevers
