A damascus barrel was made by winding thin strips or iron or steel around a mandrel and welding the seams shut. This manufacturing technique was developed prior to the ability to drill holes of the necessary length for gun barrels. Generally speaking all damascus barrel shopguns are quite old and should not be shot unless first inspected by well qualified gunsmith. The corrosive effect of old primers, the ravages of time, and the fact that black powder was hydroscopic could and did play hell with poorly maintained guns.
