The spectacular Damascus pattern is 'Manufacture Extra', a Lutticher (Liege) Corche pattern; this barrel re-finished by Dr Gaddy, on a Diamond Quality marked 'Extra Fine Damascus.' I very much agree with Canvasback that if your desire is to sell the gun, do nothing. Anything done wrong will substantially decrease its value.

Drew, indeed it says Extra Fine Damascus on the rib of the barrel. Heading to the post office as I write this to ship to Dewey Vicknair of Vicknair Restorations. Can't wait to see what a "proper cleaning" will do to the surface rust on the barrels and other metal furnishings!

The picture that Doctor Drew posts looks suspiciously like the pigeon barrels on a Daly two barrel set that I used to own. If so, Doctor Gaddy did not refinish them, they are in original finish.

I very much agree with Canvasback that if your desire is to sell the gun, do nothing. Anything done wrong will substantially decrease its value. Dewey Vicknair will be cutting the barrels. I suspect the OP can rest assured that Mr Vicknair's reputation and skills won't harm the gun or it's value too much.

So I've finally wrested the gun from FedEx and I'm almost speechless. The wait was worth it. Pictures to follow if I can figure it out.

Forgot I need online storage to post pics...also, the gun did end up being a 16ga and not a 20ga.
