If you want to tell Sears off about "Damascus" you can also give them (and
other furniture stores) heck for what they call "Wrought Iron".

With all this discussion of what is or isn't Damascus steel, shouldn't we
consider what has been common English usage for the last 120 or so
years?  If not, then who among us wants to write to Sears and insist that
they reissue their 1908 catalogue because it mistakenly labels
pattern-welded shotgun barrells as "Damascus"?
