It looks alot like the 'Bernard' pattern I posted on the top of p. 3. What year production? We'll get it added to the PictureTrail and thanks again! https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

'Etoile' is I believe the correct name for this pattern. Walt ???? I'll try to get a picture tomorrow when the sun is overhead. It was on the horizon when I took these pictures and I had a hard time keeping my shadow off the barrels. Per the list on this site it was produced in 1912. Mike PS Your page three is not my page three. It depends on your settings of posts per page. Last edited by Utah Shotgunner; 05/25/07 10:16 PM. Mike

This is Pete M's Remington (again) which is an excellent example of a "Star" or "Etoile" pattern-and I agree they are certainly similar Last edited by revdocdrew; 05/25/07 11:28 PM. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

I think at that time, the British laminated steel was of the highest quality. I think the finish on these barrels is the original from the Scott Factory. http://www.bakercollectors.com/

The rib is clearly twist, but the brls look like the 'Damascus Higny' or 'Damascus Leclere 3rd quality' illustrated on the Higny poster http://www.littlegun.be/arme%20belge/artisans%20identifies%20h/a%20higny%20gb.htm Probably a 'One Iron Crolle' variant. (I'm glad someone other than me has nothing better to do on a long Memorial Day weekend than to 'talk' about guns and damascus barrels ) https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

The first is by James Patrick, the second John Blissett & Son. Both British makers.
