The "testing" of the 3 types is funny. A real salesman piece to show how great Manufrance Damas Eclair really is. Great looking pattern to it.
I found a 1884 Manufrance catalog for sale on line. No luck on a 1890. I would hope they kept most of the filler material constant for a few years.
Of all the damascus documentation I have read, no one mentions this catalog? Very surprising as it is a primary source. I wish that graphic of barrel makers forge had more information. I would like to know how the tasks were broken out.
