I've seen that pattern called both "stars & stripes" and "American Flag Bunting" or just "American Flag".

agreed -

if you search for "flag pattern damascus barrels" you find several examples

i am in awe of the skill it must have taken to make that design show up so evenly

That pattern is called ETOILE 3.B.P. on the Remington Arms Co.'s Damascus salesman's sample and appeared quite regularly on C-/CE-Grade Remington Hammerless Doubles.

That pattern was used on B-Grade Baltimore Arms Co. guns. Lefever Arms Co. bought a load of pairs of rough tubes at the receiver's sale of Baltimore Arms Co. in late 1904.
