Found an English translation of a Belgian (in French) article about damascus production



Looking at the end of the 'ribbon', one can understand the various patterns that can be produced by alternating the tiny iron bars with steel. The 'Damas' illustrated certainly looks like what Lefever (and others) called 'Horse-shoe' damascus.

Lots of new stuff on the 'Damascus Barrels' PictureTrail

including an amazing Parker brl with 'Terell' in the damascus pattern.
