About $100 or so. The damascus/twist steel barrels are generally considered unsafe to shoot with modern ammunition.
A damascus barrel is a barrel made of damascus steel, which is steel produced by hammering two different steels together. The twist refers to the pieces of steel being twisted while they are hammered, which produces the distinctive pattern on the steel.
If you are asking about a Smith and Weson handgun in .40s&w caliber,then no these firearms do not have a damascus,or twist steel barrel.This type of barrel was only found on shotguns made from the time period of 1880-1910.

Pieper was a Belgian gun maker, so it was most likely made in Belgium. Look for the Belgian black powder proof marks.
Chuck Berry Twist was created in 1962.
No! Never shoot modern ammo in any steel twist Damascus type barrel. These weren't all that reliable or safe with black powder and definitely can't take the pressure of modern loads.
It is a four digit number on the receiver under the right side barrel, open the gun and look deep on the receiver,
Is this shotgun manufactured with a twist steel barrel
NO !!!!!! damascus steel is not made to shoot with modern powders. It was made for black powder shotshells only. It would be very dangerous to shoot with todays loads . to much pressure in todays powders Maybe, but - - - In Europe, a lot of old shotguns from the top tier of gunmakers have been properly maintained for 100 or more years and reproofed regularly and are still in use with "modern" ammunition. Lacking a government proof-house in the US, I'd be very reluctant to fire any type of twist-steel barrel, even with black-powder equivalent loads.
Hang it on a wall. Not safe to fire with modern loads.
