Damascus barrels are older model shotgun barrels created mainly in Belgium and England during the late 19th century. Look But Don't ShootThe Damascus barrel has a beauty of its own. The twisting patters visible in the metal can be very pleasing and make excellent display antiques. The lighter color of the steel against the dark iron, combined with the twists, gave the barrels some interesting patterns. The traditional final finish for Damascus barrels is for them to be browned by a process of controlled rusting. Some of the chemicals used for the browning process varied from one maker to another, however among some of them the combination emphasized the pattern of the twists as some chemicals attacked the iron but not the steel.
