What does Laminated Steel stamped on a shotgun barrel mean?
This was the method of making shotgun barrels in the 19th century. Strips of metal or wire were wound around a mandrell and hammer-welded. "Twist", "Stubb Twist" and "Damascus" are all types of laminated barrels. Although they were safe enough when made, if a gun has not been properly cared for in the intervening 100 years, they may have developed sub-surface rust spots which could cause them to fail. And modern shells are much more powerful than the black powder ammunition that was available in the 1890's, so a gun with laminated barrels should not be shot unless it has been checked by an experienced gunsmith, and then only with the loads appropriate for its construction.
Where can you find information about an early 1900s Montgomery Ward side by side shotgun with 30 inch damascus twist barrels and the serial 60346?

Is it safe to use modern shells in a 12 gauge Acme Arms Co side by side dual hammer shotgun stamped Belgium?

Where do you buy a shotgun that has 2 barrels twisted together?

Here is some information for you...please note the part about it not being safe to fire a Damascus barrel with modern powder. Picture an onion after a fire cracker went off inside it. http://www.hallowellco.com/damascus_twist_barrels.htm
