That's how I interpret Greener's statements going back to 1835.
BUT as much as I hate to bring this up, in the original Birmingham Proof House test of 1891, as published in The Field, BOTH "Laminated Damascus" (British and Foreign-no doubt Belgian) AND "Laminated Steel" are described. The illustration of each, which is found in Double Gun Classics http://www.doublegunclassics.com/alt/DGCJanFeb06.pdf
sure looks similar.
