Cool. Many long years ago I had a double gun with Damascus but never fired it and let it go to a collector.

That is amazing! I'd love to see his work succeed. I had the pleasure to speak with a master gunsmith in Williamsburg Va., A national living museum. While there I watched him hammer forging a barrel. It is fasinating.
Thanks for sharing.

That’s amazing work. Well suited for a house gun. Meaning the gun it’s fitted to will cost as much as a house.

Greener's in England did have a small supply of Damascus barrels in stock capable of being made up and some were. They may still have some. In old gun catalogues Damascus barrels could be supplied as an option but always cost more than steel. I must admit that they do look rather nice at the side of plain steel tubes.
