I've learned since the auction that the Damascus barrels measure 30"

I looked the gun over at the preview day — took it apart, checked the chamber length, but did not measure the barrels. I thought it was in the book as a 28”

I also looked in the book before the auction and I also saw it as 28" barrels, I wonder if Rock Island also went by the book?

Good question. I think it was 28, but, again, I did not measure and could be wrong.
