The census records do not show him. There is a Richard Barr in the 1857 New York City directory at 106 Beekman who is listed as a gunsmith. http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=1540&iid=NewYork_NY_1857_059540-0051 Pete http://www.damascus-barrels.com/Movie.html

The inner parts were like flowing rather than wire twist. I believe this was a fine gun as the London twist on the top rib was scribed in gold and a thin line of gold was next to the top rib and tube for the full length. I did not see the rest of the gun. Now I wish I had pictures of them. They were far from my finest so I didn't bother. My friend who I did them for was very happy but in my head I have done much better.

I started with Mark Lee's, then went finally to Greeners formula with CuSO4 in it, using light torch heat in between to finally get colors.Did not use Ferric Chloride wash. This is my first post and I came here to get information on browning Damascus barrels such as these. They look gorgeous. I have a set from a Belgian percussion double that I'd like to see look even close to those. Can you give me additional info/links/instructions on the formulas you mentioned? Thanks very much, Tom
