Hey Guys,
Does anyone know of, or can recommend a person that does a nice job of rebrowning damascus barrels in the eastern half of the US?
Thanks...

If you want classic British 'browned' barrels, you'll probably need to send them to Kearcher or Merrington. Dewey Vicknair does a wonderful job on American maker's 'black and white' Ephrata, Pennsylvania 717-733-2145 http://www.VicknairRestorations.com

Anybody know what would be appropriate for a pre-1892 Belgian hammer Damascus? Black, brown, or something like Kearcher's black/white which often comes out kind of brown? Thanks.

Might want to look at Casey C. of Newnan, Ga. Several years ago he posted pictures of barrels he browned- they were beautiful. Contact him with a post addressed to him.

Thiss is a near unfired Belgium (SJ&D) from the 1890's. The Barrels were definitely browned and not blackened as the Americans were. [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img]

Thanks Cary Here is some of the work I done on my barrels. 99% of the work I do is rust-blueing and only sometimes Damascus Finish. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...=true#Post11432Casey

Thanks to everyone for the replies. Casey, your work looks real good.
The gun I have needing done is an English BPE double rifle I just purchased.
Currently, the barrels are blued. I had a feeling that this gun was damascus, and confirmed it last evening by removing the blueing under the forend. It was a nice Christmas surprise...
It will need to be browned, not blacked.
Thanks again.
