DAMASCUS BARREL CLEANING
HOW SHOULD A DAMASCUS BARREL BE CLEANED TO BRING OUT THE DETAILS OF THE DAMASCUS WORK? IS THERE A SPECIAL PRODUCT FOR THIS PURPOSE? THANKS.

The details of a damascus barrels are brought out in the process of finishing the metal
(bluing or browning) Just before the barrels are finished they are swabbed down with a mild acid like nitric or hydrocloric acid. This brings out the pattern in the metal.0 -
I'm afraid just cleaning the barrels will have little effect on the appearance of the damascus or twist paterns. If they have lost their contrast, refinishing is the only solution. 0
