Bamboozler is correct. Keith did a sleeve job damascus to damascus. There was no attempt to match the patterning and the change in patterns was quite visible. I don't know if he has done others but if you have a project in mind Eightbore give Keith a call. As far as the lack of a sleeve mark my guess is Jaycee's got it. The smith neglected to tell the proof house and if the patterning was well matched, it just sailed on through as another damascus reproof.

If you don't read the posts, why do bother to reply to them? To make the reading comprehension easier I have put it in bold/red this time. From the original post in this thread.

A friend (now deceased) had a wreck of a Purdey hammergun brought back to wonderful condition. One really nice detail was that the the 'smith in England suggested sleaving the barrels with some damascus tubes from another gun.
