What is the proper color for a Charles Daly damascus barrel?

Mark, to the best of my limited knowledge the hammerless Dalys were done in black & white. At least that's what mine were.

Black and white is correct. Original B/W Daly finishes will fade and slightly brown over time, but this is very different from the vibrant browns found in many traditional British damascus guns for example.

Ken: I could certainly be wrong, but believe this is original browning

Rev, I would guess the barrel finishes you picture are original, but have faded to brownish over the years as Ken mentions above. The original , well preserved , finishes I have seen on composite barrels were black and white for Daly guns from Lindner. I cannot say for sure how that holds for other Daly sources.

High condition Daly/Lindner guns I have owned and seen have been as black and white as original Parkers.

My Daly, which Revdocdrew shows above, is B&W but the black has turned slightly brownish.

The example I have of somewhat high condition has black and white while another has turned to a plum or light brown.
Drew: those initials looks to be "R.S". Can you confirm and what receiver do they belong to?
Kind Regards,
Raimey
