fascinating workmanship on the Lancaster. The oddest gun with different barrels that I ever came across was a Boss sidelever owned by a friend. It was blacked but some damascus could be seen through it s he deceided to have it browned. Bad mistake as one barrel was damascus and the other steel. He had to have it re-blacked again as it looked dreadful.

So, an 8 bore user out there! I have a double hammerless Joseph Lang with nitro proofed Damascus barrels. I use it for geese in Scotland where lead shot is still allowed for inland flighting over fields. Lagopus.....
