It's also clear that 'reading' the damascus pattern requires knowledge of the grade of the gun.
Thanks for the encouragement Daryl, but a. I'm not that smart yet and b. almost all the pics on the PictureTrail were 'borrowed' from internet auction sites, pics from threads on gun forums (PGCA, LCSCA, here, etc.), and pics sent to me. I have not scanned nor posted any pics from books, but probably do have some legal exposure nevertheless. I'm comfortable putting the pics up, in that I have no commercial interest in the PictureTrail, they came from the 'Public Domain,' and civil action against me would cost more than it would accomplish (I hope!)
Anyway-my intent with the PictureTrail was to provide a resource, and thanks to Dave Miles and others, I'm most thankful the some of Dr Gaddy's contributions were not lost. Hopefully, Dave will add some of these threads to the FAQ section (and we've e-mailed about that.)
