We have noted that on Grades 2, 3 and 4 Damascus barrel flats there is a "D" stamped under the right barrel toward the front of the flats which we always believed to indicate Damascus. However, we also note that on Grades 5 and 6 there is a "DD" stamped in the same area. Could this "DD" stamp indicate "extra fine" or "finest"? Has anyone ever seen barrel flats stamped with a triple D ("DDD")?... is there such a marking?
Dave Suponski has a BH with "DD" stamped on the flats and Oscar Gaddy told Dave that his barrels were the finest he'd ever seen.
