Drew, I know that was claimed and may well have been true. I visited that site and found a partial large grinding stone sticking out of the ground (about 12 to 18 inched diameter when whole. The Edward's family burial site is in the Brooktondale cemetery. My point was meant to say that there is no documentation that I am aware of that the Ithaca Gun Co. ever made in house Damascus barrels supporting their production. The ad (and others) does tend to imply that they did.
