My guess is that any of the black powder era centerfire double rifles (damascus or fluid steel) would have been expected to outlast the original owner and probably his heirs.
Not to say that those rifles that were then used extensively with early Cordite Nitro for Black (or mistakenly actual full Cordite loads) in the hot climates would not have suffered.

I have only seen one “Jones Screw Grip” that was at all off face and that was a .577 Snider.
