Someone told me recently that the damascus pattern on his 1900 was a fake etched-in pattern, done as a marketing ploy since people preferred damascus to steel then. I wasn't aware Remington was doing this. If fake, it totally fooled me. Can someone verify this with regards to 1900's (and others if applicable)? If so, I wish more companies would produce fake damascus, because it was beautiful.
