Many of you would know that the amazing art of making Damascus gun barrels has been unfortunately lost with the advent of modern steel in manufacturing gun barrels. It is unbelievable that such a wonderful craft has been lost almost forever within such a short span of time. There are some efforts in producing Damascus gun barrels in modern times but they are not what the original barrels were.
The first video explains the process of Damascus barrel making in a way that is easily understandable to lay persons. The original video, the only existing visual documentation of the process, on which the first video is based, is also posted below. I hope you will enjoy these videos as much as I did.
