Two of the 7 guns I received from Austin which he had bequeathed to the PGCA were Grade 1 Lifters with Damascus barrels. I do not remember the serial numbers of those guns, nor did I record them anywhere.
He had given them to us to serve as examples of transitional features of function only, not barrel steel types, so these can not serve as examples of 'unusual' as regards the barrel steel.
