I saw this comment in this older thread:
Colt: An American Legend by RL Wilson shows the "Capt. D.H. Ross" 1883 hammerless with "COLT" within the damascus pattern.

Doublegun Thread

I have Wilson's book on Colt guns. The photo caption states; "for display a set of barrels was made with the tiny word COLT encircling the tubes".

The photo shown of this gun, does not show this set of tubes with the COLT word in it. The gun is mounted with a set of three iron Crolle tubes.

Has anyone actually seen this set of COLT word damascus tubes, or a photo of it?
