Thanks for the Terell barrel pic, Drew! I've saved it to my computer. Will try to clean it up. If there are any high resolution photos available of any of these word pattern barrels, it would help me out a lot.
I'll work up a post on how word pattern barrels were made. Maybe will start a new thread, when I have it ready. It will take me some time to create computer generated images to explain the process, so it will be a bit before I have it ready.
There's some interesting similarities between these barrels; and also some interesting differences. I'm curious if there is any information about the makers of them.
Also wonder if anyone knows the present location of the D.H. Ross gun, with the Colt barrels. And whether the Colt word barrel set is with it. If I'm going to do this thread, it would be nice to have it include all known examples of this damascus pattern technique.
