In Manfred Sachse book "Damascus Steel" he pictures a nice pepperbox with damascus barrel and refers to the pattern as Crolle. He also pictures some pages from a catalogue dated 1896 and these types of patterns are referred to as Crolle I, Crolle II and Crolle Extra. From the picture you provide it is close to the Crolle Extra.
