Early Hammer LC Smith Damascus SxS barrel color
Posted by Richard Ranney on June 29, 2021, 8:56 pm
I was wondering if it was common in the 1906 year if someone would order a gun with Damascus barrels but have the barrels ‘blued’ over the Damascus? The gun I’m restoring has Damascus but both barrels are darn near black and the Damascus wasn’t visible at all until I began aggressively rubbing the barrels to clean them. I’m hoping this was merely crud, but I want to redo these as original. Thank you. Richard
