Tried to have a damascus knife maker make some but when browned did not match the tubes. Finally located some old ribs unused. Also, they are taking old damascus scrapper barrels, then quartering them lengthwise, then milling out ribs from the resulting quarters. They are many ways to skin a cat in craft gunmaking.

There is a great book called Three Centuries of Liege Gun making. It has a lot of info on the making of Damascus barrels and their construction J.W.H

I've still got about two hundred pics to look through, but have come up with a bunch of good examples of tubes and ribs with the same, or very different composition here http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/21182597 Certainly the ribs did not require the strength of the barrels, and ease of manufacture and aesthetics had to be factors. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

I've started a 'Ribs' chapter on DamascusKnowledge but suspect I'll be working on it for some time. Need to review all the links and references for a specific discussion about rib production. http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfg2hmx7_293fxzspwc3 https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
