I want to learn more about steel barreled Flues with etched damascus patterns. I sent my barrels to Les at Diamond Gunsmithing. Les told me that the barrels are steel with an etched damascus pattern. I've never heard of this and I want to get more history. There is nothing on the barrels or the reciever except for the seriel number 232995 and 12 1 1/2 which I know means 12ga. grade 1 1/2. The barrels are mirror bright, no pitting and someone has lengthened the chambers to 2 3/4. Any insight appreciated.
