As I said I have a barrel with the same sort of imperfection but smaller. I have often wondered if when damascus gets old if it can get brittle, perhaps in the initial process some slag gets wound in and falls out later. I see that your barrel has a smaller crater off to the right that, I think, was hardly caused by a dent.
