20 GA "DH"

[B. Dudley]

Other shotgun guys might tell you that the work done to the barrels is better overall, and a lot more would have told you that 20 or 30 years ago when that work was originally done. With the work done, the barrels could most likely handle any factory load that you wanted to put to it.
However, today the whole scare of Damascus barrels in shotgun circles is not really there. With the low pressure loads that are available, and plus additional knowledge. As a shooter, your gun is boosted in "value" due tot he barrel work. But as a collectors piece it is non-existent.
That barrel work would cost about $2 - $3k today. And there are not many doing it anymore.

There is no accurate figure of DHE Damascus 20s produced, but it is real small. One in high condition could bring over ten grand. We see many examples of such guns that have had their collector value lost by owners who just wanted to shoot them.
