As I'm sure you're aware, there are several good gunsmiths that do Damascus browning these days here in the USofA. Of course, I can't be sure of the quality or type of Damascus on your gun's tubes, but I strongly suspect that you would be shocked at how spectacular they looked after a return to their "natural" finish. I've never seen a poorly made FT Baker gun, in either fluid steel or Damascus. $200 in 1977.....I'm speechless.
