Sure, you just want to figure out if the blue job was a hot dip before you remove it and begin bringing back the damascus. Sometimes the salts in the hot blue causes the barrels and ribs to come undone...Geo

Re-browning or black and white damascus finish is a bit of a job. Several here are expert at it though. Someone will advise...Geo

If it's the only set you want refinished, send it to a professional. Unless you want to re-do your barrels three or four times. It's well worth it to have it done.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Refinishing damascus can be a bit involved to do it properly. If your gun is in fair condition otherwise, and you have zero experience at this, then I would send the barrels away to be refinished by someone who does this on a regular basis.
If on the other hand the gun is a wall hanger, then you perhaps may want to try it.

rva, your cap-lock may be stuck, but some here consider all caps as shouting. You may get better information if you type little...Geo
