Just because this is a thread about the beauty of Damascus, I thought I'd add some pics.

The first is my Remington 1894 B grade, shortly after the barrels were redone by Chris Dawe, a member here. That gun has headed down the road in my move to lighter weights and smaller gauges.

Then there is this Sauer, shown in it's "as I found it" state. It is in the middle of a redo at the moment. It's still a 12 gauge but on the lighter side.

And my newest project gun......a 16 gauge

It will take a while but I think those two will make a fine pair of grouse guns.....the Sauer for plains grouse and the Daly for ruffies.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
