This is a damascus demonstration rod showing the edges of a 3 iron ribband being hammer welded after having been wrapped/wound around a mandrel



I will gladly send a check for $100 to anyone who would send me the remains of a pattern welded (Twist, Crolle Damascus, or Laminated Steel) barrel that "unwound" in a reverse manner.
