Richard B. wrote "I have also been told by many Lefever collectors that the English damascus barrels are browned and the Belgian barrels done in black and white."

Why - were they finished differently because of metal content or to make the higher grades stand out more from the lower grades? Did the English barrels go on the higher grade guns? Apparently some LeFever barrels have tube maker marks so you can tell where they were made?

Best,
