I found a link to this on Iforgeiron.com, a metal working forum. It is a 25 minute film of French or Flemish(Belgian)Barrel makers making Damascus gun barrels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=29&v=fa9dlvRDuQU
I hope you enjoy watching.

Nice video! They are French speaking Belgians from Liège,it's still known for the weapons school.
Cool video, thanks for sharing. If I understood it correctly, they made a 3 bar ribbon that they then wrapped around the mandrel and forge-welded together to make the barrel. Very interesting.
