The late Dr. Gaddy believed that all of our North American double gun manufacturers finished their Twist, Laminated and Damascus barrels black and white. It seems that the best bets for a good black and white refinish are Buck Hamlin in Pevely, MO, or Bachelder Master Gunmakers in Grand Rapids, MI.

Sadly, Brad past away. His son and wife along with employees are still doing nice work.
