condition is not so great, but it needs a good cleaning that I haven't got to yet. What is the difference between "fine twist barrels" and "damascus barrels"?To quote the late, great Dr. Oscar Gaddy:
"Twist barrels have a helical or spiral pattern of lines like a barber pole or candy cane with no addtional embellishments. Damascus barrels also have a spiral pattern but also have swirls and whorls that some call fingerprint patterns or other patterns that are repeated along the barrel."
