I suspect that the outside bands of metal were often iron to make the welds easier. Or once again I am wrong. It would seem that iron would be easier to use where the welds are and the steel is present to make the combo much stronger. Otherwise why not just make all steel damascus barrels?

Your work is on of the best exchanges of information on the subject of damascus that I have seen since Dr. Gaddy left us. That is meant as a strong compliment.
