What does K D Y mean on remington model 1900 shotgun?
KD stands for damascus barrel I do not know what the Y stands for. You should not fire the gun with a damascus barrel because it is weaker and might explode with modern shells
Looking for a rare antique browning shotgun with damascus barrel?
We cant find one for you here. Browning Arms Co never made a shotgun with damascus barrels as far as we know. Its possible that a gun was made with those barrels built on one of Brownings patents.
How do you know if you have damascus barrels?
Quite often the shotgun will tell you how the barrels are made. If it says "twist" or "laminated" or "damascus", then it is one of the types generally called damascus. If it says "armory", "forged", or "fluid" then it is a more modern construction. Damascus barrels will show a pattern, although it can be covered with bluing or the pattern can be simulated. You can check by removing the forearm and polishing a small spot on the bottom of the barrel. This will remove either the bluing that hides the pattern or the simulated damascus pattern. As far as safety, the best damascus constructed barrels are stronger than a low-quality fluid steel barrel, and probably equal to most when new. But time will weaken the welds, so it is wise to retire an old damascus gun unless you know it has had proper care for its entire lifetime. Since your gun is marked for smokeless powder, it is PROBABLY fluid steel and PROBABLY has 2 3/4" chambers, but if you intend to shoot it, have it checked by a competent gunsmith and follow his recommendations. Damascus barrels were made to be used with black powder and so are thicker at the breach (to handle the fast explosion of powder) and thinner at the muzzle, as black powder. Due to the fact that modern smokeless powder buns at a slower pace, thus building up more pressure towards the muzzle which could cause the metal to split or rupture, it is not recommended that modern ammo be used in a Damascus barrel.

What is a damascus gun?
Don't take this as gospel on this subject, but this is my understanding. Damascus is a name of steel, made originally in (unexpectedly) a city named Damascus. Damascus steel was supposedly created by a combination of folding two different types of steel together, and folding the two steels over and over again, creating many layers that combined the properties of the two used steels. This steel was supposedly the strongest steel ever known; it was legendary. The secret was the supposed combination of the iron and carbon which created small tubes of reinforced carbon bonded with the ferrous iron, creating exceptionally tough steel in which the long tubes would be able to bend without breaking, creating exceptionally strong (and therefore very sharp and hard) steel but without sacrificing the flexibility of the weapon so it was not brittle. The technique of creating Damascus steel has been lost for centuries; I know that sound like a load of crap, but we seriously have no idea what happened to the creation technique. People may claim that we now have found a way to "recreate" damascus steel, but it's merely an imitation. We are guessing how and why the steel was both so strong and flexible, and that's kinda where we're at. A damascus gun is a gun which has parts made of damascus, most frequently the barrel. It is also an uncommon slang term; a "damascus" gun is sometimes used as a way to describe a gun which is match-grade or just functions extraordinarily well. It could also be used to describe a piece which has been heavily modified to improve on its quality.

All I can tell you, It was before 1925. You should get a copy of The Ithaca Gun Company - From the Beginning" by Walter Snyder. There is a list of Ithaca serial numbers in this book that have been verified as belonging to Wells Fargo and Company. If your number is in the list, it will greatly increase the value of your gun.
