I was slugging the bore this afternoon and noticed the barrel band is made of damascus. Now that's something I haven't seen before! It's actually done in two pieces - the band itself then the sling eye attachment. In the second picture below you can just make out the solder joint line. The contrasting damascus band should make for a very unique look once I rust blue the barrel and properly re-brown the damascus band.
