First off, I've never gought a gun with known shortened barrels. But, I bought a set of 24" barrels on ebay for $88.00 including shipping. They were Dam-2, originally 28" long. I fitted them to a DH12ga that was original Titanic Full and full. They make a fun set of barrels for that gun. I even had the damascus refinished by Dale Edmonds. As a friend in Georgia at the time named it, "The meat gun". Short barrels can be a lot of fun, FWIW.

Thanks for the replies so far. If I had been more specific, I would have specified lower grades as I understand it is a different game with the higher grades. Also, there seem to be a lot of damascus guns even up to DH grade that were cut. I know quail hunting at the turn and early part of the 1900's was a big sport so I understand the thinking, as that is what I hunted for my first thirty years of hunting and an open double is what one wanted.

Now that we are talking lower grades Trojan, PH, VH, even GH) any other valued opinions?

Thanks.
