Just wondering if there is a company in America that the you chaps and gunmakers send barrels for blacking that is the equal of Johnson's. I have not ever heard it mentioned. I have seen some lovely damascus browning that was done up in America, but have not seen blacking so lovely and shining as what comes out of Johnson's. Happy Christmas Bv
