A pretty exhaustive study of damascus barrels and pressures was featured in the Double Gun Journal some years back.
Many of the problems in the 20s and 30s were traced back to cheap twist or damascus barrels made in Belgium in guns that found their way into the USA.
The quality of Parker Bros. damascus barrels and their inherent strength was demonstrated in this article.
There are damascus barrels and then there are other damascus barrels. Caveat emptor.
