How many 1897 Black Diamond Damascus shotguns were produced? I found one for sale, but don’t know that much about rarity (serial # 436602).

Jim,

It is not possible at this time to answer your question.  That stated, the total number manufactured was small.

Is the gun in question a Trap Gun, or a Fancy grade gun?  12-gauge?  Barrel length? Pictures?

Hi Bert,

 

here is a pic of the shotgun. Unfortunately, I only have this pic and one pic of the serial number at this time.

Jim,

That is not a Damascus barrel on the gun in the picture you posted.  It is a standard rolled steel barrel.
