I do Lloyd; but in my case I never had the blue removed, so I can only see traces of the Damascus pattern. At any rate, it is a straight-gripped 26" BLNE with really nice wood, mint bores, and 100% very fine rose and scroll engraving coverage. For this gun my wife paid $200 in 1977; so I believe it fair to say she got her money's worth. Of all the guns I've owned over the years, this is the only gun I have never, and never will consider selling because it was such a special gift.
