What is the difference in a damascus barrel?
Damascus steel is made by folding a mild steel together with a high-carbon steel to make it stronger, and gives it a pretty pattern. Problem with Damascus barrels is that, while they work fine with low pressure black powder loads, modern smokeless shotshells are likely to cause the barrel to rupture, which is bad.

How can you tell if the barrel is Damascus steel on a 12 gauge J Stevens Model 335 serial 10884?
Damascus steel barrels can usually be recognized by visible (if the metal is bare) "twists" or striations. Do NOT fire a gun that has a Damascus steel barrel unless it has been proof tested by a qualified gunsmith. For that matter, do not fire any old firearm, Damascus steel or not, unless you are certain that the barrel can withstand the higher pressures of modern gunpowder. Safety first: take it to a qualified gunsmith if there's any doubt.

How do you telll a damascus shoyun barrel?
You will notice many small lines,circular lines through the steel. Damascus is actually laminated steel which could accept the much lighter pressure made by black powder shot shells. If the fine lines are visible in an area where the steel is lightly worn, then the barrel is likely damascus. If the lines are not visible, it is possibly "fluid" steel, meaning that it's not damascus. Up until early in the 20th century, gun manufacturers attempted to duplicate the appearance of damascus on what were stronger barrels. In either case, do not shoot the gun until you have had a gunsmith check it out.
