We have noticed that several G grade damascus barrels have had fluid steel bottom ribs behind the forend lug. In most cases G grade damascus barrels exhibit fine damascus with damascus ribs top and bottom. One recently restored set had coarser damascus on the tubes, damascus top rib, and fluid steel bottom ribs. The barrel markings were identical to the other G grade damascus barrels we have charted.
Here is an odd one. A Lefever Arms Co Nitro Special 12 gauge. The right tube is fluid steel and the left tube is damascus! These barrels were originally both blued. All of the markings are correct with one exception, the damascus tube is stamped IHR.
Just a really stellar chain pattern on an Ithaca grade 2 Lewis gun.

Brad,
Those are good dark Damascus colors and look like the sets I have that are still in "little used" condition. Great Job!
