I have a friend who has an 1894 and we're trying to figure out as much as we can about it. The barrels appear to be damascus. They have a pattern that looks like fingerprint swirls. The bottoms of the barrels are marked:

I (or 1) /// A P

I can find lots of information online about other marks corresponding to grades, type of steel, etc. but nothing I've found matches the marks on it.

Any help?
