There is no acid test.

You can see the Delcour-Dupont, trade mark "Crown over D" on the barrels.

The barrels were made in Belgium by Delcour-Dupont. Delcour-Dupont continued to produce fluid and damascus barrels well into the 1930's. They were the last Belgian firm to commercially produce damascus.

Under the blackening, they appear to be twist damascus. If you go here and scroll down, you will see a Scott with the same treatment.
