Thank goodness that wasn't an American shotgun or you would have destroyed any value it has. Since it is English great job!!

So when you take dents and a bulge out of a pair of barrels you send it back without re-finishing it?

That is Greener's 3 Iron Laminated "Silver Steel" BTW, and a beautiful job of browning. See http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfg2hmx7_62d9d3mdmb

I thought bulges could not successfully be repaired?

depends where they are.

Or if they are damascus

On the subject of steel v. Damascus, Mr Stephen Grant is very clear, and much prefers Damascus for hard working guns. He related an anecdote of one of his patrons, whose keeper stupidly put a 12-bore cartridge into his master’s gun without knowing that he had previously inserted a 20-case, which had stuffed up the barrel. Fortunately, no burst occurred, but a big bulge, which, however, Mr Grant hammered down, and the gun is now as good as ever.

Great job! Very handsome work.
