OP LeFusil Sidelock Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 2,354 Likes: 663 Utah	I would like some recomendations for damascus refinishing work. I have Mr. Edmonds contact info, but I do not want to wait a year to have my barrels refinished. Can anyone please recommend a talented barrelsmith/metalsmith/gunsmith who can do an excellent "black & white" refinish on a set of Lefever barrels? You can email me at maruquinandsons@juno.com Thanks for any and all help!
