Thanks! It was very much my hope that it was earlier and could identify the time frame for Mr Wiswoulds Iron Barrels. It doesn't look like any Laminated Steel I've seen. Oh well-the search continues

rdd - keep in mind that those barrels could have been laying around in someone's shop for a long time before being used in this gun. Anybody's guess when, where, or from whom Bonehill got them. The USA guns were on the cheap/machine made side for Brit guns. So, these could easily have been some bargain basement barrels. I'd not be surprised if they were of Belgian origin, either. To get any kind of fix on them, we need to seem more similar with something identifiable as to source and/or age.

revdocdrew: I hope you can find "The Gun, 1834" which has a little more info. When I have a little spare time, I'm going to continue the search for books as well as Damascus. If possible, give us a recap for time to time, or is in on your blog?
eightbore: great idea. When you run across a female(may be one condition too many) one, let me know in that I would like to have a bear dog incase any ever come off the mountains into the valley. They are good skunk dogs in addition to good bird dogs.
Kind Regards,

I believe the 1835 on-line book IS the the 1834 The Gun. There is a letter in the preface from Col. Hawker dated Dec. 29, 1834 thanking Greener for the book he received. Reading through the Preface is sounds like this was his first book. The cover page is, however, dated 1835.

I've read your informative post on the 1935 version & I don't remember the same in recollecting my reading of some chapters of "The Gun, 1934." I try to make it a habit to read the title page. I would like to start from the beginning of the Greener Saga and compare either in reprints or originals. But I will compare in the near feature. As a guess, eightbore or Researcher one referred to the 1934 version.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

No, the error is mine. I meant 1834 & 1835 respectively. Posting with a lack of sleep leads to errors.
