The highest grade damascus available was referred to as two-blade (also called double blade), and three-blade. Across the line adding two or three-blade to the shotgun, cost $4.00 more than the fluid steel ($3 over the twist). The three-blade shotguns were hammerless and richly embellished with engraving and depending on the level of embellishment cost between $30.75 and $38.50. In that same catalogue, an L.C. Smith 2- blade damascus shotgun with modest embellishment sold for $42 and the highest grade LC Smith sold by Sears with 3-blade damascus sold for $56.
For perspective, the three-furrow disc horse drawn plow was selling for $43.50 in the 1906 catalog.
