"-Fine Twist-."

Given this gun's rust issues, there is no way in hell that it should be fired.

The Damascus process in inherently a chancy process of getting all the welds perfect. Voids or slag inclusions in the welds can cause avenues for rusting, which would only be magnified by the amount of rust that this gun seems to have overall.

Unless you're able to get the barrel magnafluxed and a clean bill of health, I wouldn't even fire it with black powder loads.
