No one called the alternee 'leaves' (the rods in this example had 24) and I got the 'scrolls' from Dr. Gaddy, but it does help in describing the pattern The ribband edge welds are straight and the rod-rod 'zipper' welds (best seen in the middle scroll) are wavy Pattern interpretation https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zMmG-80ZUWwiLDbjBNk-wiOdDxKrhQL6jMNs5L2XVfc/edit https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

I'm not interested in it but for the damascus part. I think that it was an F Grade LeFever 12 ga. thanks Drew.

Attractive crolle patterns are symmetric and uniform; the scrolls are similar in shape and size and the contrast consistent. That doesn't necessarily mean there is a defect that lowers the strength of that tube. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YJxP1k3PzmtmrG1HEGxd8X6g0-1GL0KNY8WMIMkdKr0/edit This is a nice Parker D3 3 Iron "Oxford" Parker D6 6 Iron "Turkish". Lefever CE 4 Iron "Turkish Star" with amazing symmetry and artistry https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
