Stub Twist barrels were ususlly on Grade 0 and possibly Grade 1 as well, but not likely. Grade 2 guns of your serial number range used Damascus Steel barrels exclusively. All of these barrels which were made by twisting alternating bands or iron and steel or different grades of steel are referred to as 'composite barrels'. The broad term 'damascus barrels' is a misnomer as Damascus Steel is of a specific design and method of manufacture.
