At present, I have a 16 gauge damascus grade 2 pre 1913 L.C. Smith at Teague. Has been there over 6 months so I'm not sure just what, if anything, they are doing with it. Last I heard they were going to get back to me in a week with a delivery date, but that has been six weeks ago. Guess I need to light a fire under Nigel Teague and/or Jon Corner. I suspect that after the DBJ article, I got put in the "'round to it pile". Dr. BILL
