I make it point to remove the firing pins from the old damascus shotguns. They are usually identified looking down the bores with the wire winding showing. Better safe than sorry.

To fire any damascus steel barreled fire arm is to place oneself in danger. The nature of the blueing and the wrap used to make a damascus type barrel is conducive to corrosion in the boundry layers where the wraps join. All of these barrels are considered unshootable due to their age.Were this firearm mine, I would refinish the wood and metal and remove the firing pins and hang it on the wall as a conversation piece for all to admire. Please do not shoot it!
