I cannot seem to pass up a good looking set of damascus barrels. I am still learning how to rebrown. I always have an eye out for a nice pattern in need of rebrowning.

Today, I spotted a damascus set of barrels in the gun rack today while shopping at Midsouth Guns.

Upon investigating, it turned out to be an Crass Ithaca 16 gauge extractor in Grade 2. I though, hmm, small gauge, graded, clean bores, checkering still sharp, more than a hint of case color, nice engraving and damascus to boot. It came home.

Walt when you read this, 6 lb 11oz, 2 9/16" chambers, 28" M/F (.020/.030), 14" LOP to original buttplate, SN 92101. I am assuming it is unmolested since 1902.

I didn't hurt that I didn't have any 16s in the safe.

I have a nice Flues sixteen grade three with chain damascus. I prefer Damascus guns when I buy, everything else being equal. I think they are more attractive and more likely to appreciate. Nice find!

Best,

Mike


I am glad to be here.
