But these marks were applied by the maker and probably process or ID marks and not true proof facility marks.

Acid Etched Laminette Damast Double or Einfacher Laminette The illustration below from Waffen Revue is Laminette Damast Simple ![[Linked Image from photos.smugmug.com]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Damascus/Ferlach-French/i-FgpCM6q/0/D22CGdGHrRGP27F29XSZ3g8n9x3DkKBRDPHLK2699/L/Marholdt%20Waffen-Lexikon-L.png)

Great addition Drew. How is the etching accomplished? Turning it in a lathe with some scribe of sorts?

The wrought iron and very low carbon steel components of the laminate dissolve at different rates when exposed to acids The ancients "pickled" metals and pattern welded barrels using citrus juice and vinegar Later hydrochloric, nitric and sulfuric acid Some refinishers have found, much to their customer's displeasure, that ferric chloride at too great a concentration or applied for too long can etch so the surface of the barrels are roughened I think these are Joe's barrels ![[Linked Image from photos.smugmug.com]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Damascus/Defects/i-9Sqp9Qn/0/DfQ9rngmpmrQnJvhWWcnVxMvSw9NXBk9WNTT94FPh/L/XS%20etching-L.jpg) https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=598664

As a sidenote, I spent the last night fighting an electronic worm that came in on some email & then infected my laptop, wireless router & HP printer. I would have never known but the HP printer would not configure after the worm destroyed the older NetGear WIFI router. I purchased a new one & everything seemed to work well but the printer just would not configure(oh the days of cables...). So I contacted HP and that let to Norton, which I have used since it began, and their software does not address. On to Metaverse & finally, finally reconfigure the HP printer. I had a lot of faith in Norton, but it failed me. Amazin' the new menacing viruses and those behind them.
So if you have any quirks from your WiFi, you might want to search for a Worm. From eating holes in Buffalo horn butplates, grips, triggerguard bows to eating you WiFi router..... Where will it all end¿¿¿

rse looks as though i'm going to have the opportunity to use this twice today - here, and in the ryanf post about the very early superposed.... It costs me never a stab nor squirm To tread by chance upon a worm.

>>I like it, I like it a lot....<<
But for sure no badge of honour on the worm(s) that ate my WiFi router. Too I would hazard a guess that firm that sold me the worm medicine probably created the demon worm in the 1st place. We have worm blocks for our cattle but I see we are not in Kansas anymore Toto....

But back to the tubes, I actually prefer the raised pattern. There's just something about the feel of it.

I agree, turned out to be what I was hoping for other than pits. I already knew about the pitting though.
I can put together 3/4 oz 6000 lbs loads but if not, I bought those old briley tubes for just this situation. Thanks again.

![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/de/b8/5FbjjDMi_t.jpeg) But my question is how were these bands achieved? How were they etched or applied? Serbus, Raimey rse

I believe entire barrel was laminated together in the usual fashion, that would be the twist and the other 2 bands would be the Damascus. But I’m all ears. I wouldn’t dare fire this thing without Dean Harris looking at it first!
