Pete, I said the article in the American Rifleman was reduced by 1/3 in my initial post. Having lived in the vicinity of Liege for a year,those seriously interested in the manufactuing methods used to produce damascus should arrange to visit the museum.[BUT FIRST CHECK THAT IT WILL BE OPEN BECAUSE LIEGE HAS/HAD FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.] I am sure that visitors will be surprised at the size of the billet bundles and the rolling mill used to produce the various types of damascus.Roy
