FACTORY SHOWROOM DISPLAY OF PROCESS OF MAKING DAMASCUS BARRELS. SN NSN. Mounted on a walnut panel with deeply beaded edge, this 32-1/2″ descriptive piece shows the process of forging and welding Damascus barrels. Starting from 3 stacked rods of inter-laid iron and steel it goes through the process of their being twisted, then welded into a ribbon. This ribbon is then wrapped into a coil. These coils are then welded forming a tube. Butt ends of stacked rods and the finished tube have been browned to show the pattern of the initial stacking of the alternate bands of iron and steel, and the resulting finished pattern in the Damascus tube. Such displays are seen in photographs in many references, but finding an example in the flesh is exceptionally rare. Consignor states that this piece was formerly owned by Oscar Gaddy.
