To those of you that responded.... 'Thank You'. Those are the pictures, Drew, that I remember from that DGJ article. I do have a complete set of the journals and the Indices, and looking under 'Damascus' didn't do the trick. It could easily be in a different article within DGJ that will just take some thumbing through to find.

But your pictures will do just fine to convince a skeptical friend that these artisans could actually lay up a riband to result in a name appearing within the Crolle pattern.

with appreciation,
