Homeless - and the proof testing of a new modern day barrel really only proves that it didn't blow during the proofing. So, what's your point? I don't recall using the words "modern day barrel".

This certainly doesn't help Just found this c. 1886 C.G. Bonehill with Twist barrels marked "Laminated Steel"  Looks to be a clunker...

It's marked "Laminated Steel" and it's common twist....I made the "clunker" comment because of the dolls head fit and it's over all quality.

As discussed, the Belgians routinely called Twist "Laminated Steel" This is the first English gun I've seen so marked. And while we're on the subject, here's an English clunker (unfortunately I don't have the proof marks but likely Belgian) marked "Real Twist" - WOW!

You ever notice how they always have the "band of gold" to fool someone.

About 40 lbs. are thrown on to the inclined hearth of an air-furnace, where they are puddled or mixed together with a long iron rod, and withdrawn in a mass called a bloom, almost in a state of fusion, Perhaps I do not totally understand the term "Puddling". I was interprtating it to mean an actual melting of the metals when I stated I did not believe even stub twist was puddled. The author here uses the term puddled, but if you read carefully he does not describe the metals being melted together. This description does correspond with my understanding of the process.
