Coryreb thanks - I didn't know how it worked.
Rob - thanks for the information. I ordered the William and Read repro catalog from Abby yesterday - along with the W&C Scotts catalogs she has. I hope they have a good description.
JayCee Thanks! Joe got me into collecting old doubles and has saved me from buying dozens of "snakes" over the last few years. I tell people he is my gun buying coach and am very grateful to him. Three years ago I made an offer on the Scott. The pawn shop owner made a counter. I said OK but first I wanted to get my expert to check it out. Joe found the repaired break in the wrist that I had missed. I thought it had browned steel barrels (they are very dark) but Joe recognized immediately that they were damascus. The minimum wall thicknesses are 21 and 22 thousandths and Joe went on about refinishing and lining etc... in front of the pawnshop owner. Anyway I bought the gun last month for half of what the counter was three years ago. Joe has given me excellent advice. I try reciprocate by giving him shooting lessons :>)
Best,
Mike
