revdocdrew:

I gave a warning that I was going to dig in history a bit. There is another English chap named Lt. Col. Bagnold cited as being an authority on barrels that stated that Damascus came from India(1819?). The then types, oh the varieties(wire/stub(required to make Damascus) & Damascus): Mr. Wiswould's Iron, Wednesbury's Skelp, Sham Damn Skelp, etc.

Kind Regards,
