The terms changed based on country and era. Translations sometimes got mixed up. Twist in England became Laminated in Belgium which was called something else in Italy. Towards the end of the damascus era, more tended to the Belgian names, but not always.
Also the names of certain patterns got changed based on the customer. Who in Italy or England is going to buy a pattern called Boston? About the only named pattern that stayed the same across time and place was Bernard.
Also, many guns were being sold that were completely browned or blackened. Did they care? Gun pricing changed based on the pattern.
But all this is far from the subject of Daly.
