Default J.P. Clabrough Diamond Grade Barrels

Hello everyone,

I’m hoping that someone here can Identify or have any info on this type of Damascus. Any info would be greatly appreciated! These barrels are off of a 12 Guage, J.P. Clabrough diamond grade hammerless gun.

English Laminated. The gun was made in Birmingham or London England. Drew Hause will likely have more detail on them.

Thank you, Dean! This gun was made in 1889 and that would put the facility at 8 Whittall Street or 15 St. Mary’s Row as they had two locations at this time, according to Lawrence P. Shelton in his book “J.P. Clabrough Birmingham Gunmaker”. I look forward to seeing what Drew Hause has to say!

Here’s more info on this particular gun:
