HELP!

I am experimenting with "damascus" (pattern welded) steel.  I have this great
book on pattern welded blades by Jim Hrisoulas.  I want to try some different
combinations of steels as mentioned in his book.  I'm having a devil of a time
locating a couple of alloys:

What I'm looking for is ASTM A203 D/E (pressure vessel steel) and L-6, in
sheet/flat or plate.  The thinner the better.  I've tried a ton of places and I
am at a loss for sources, at least for the moment.

Anyone know of a good source?

TIA,
Joe

I'm sure Crucible has L-6  and A-2 but I'm not sure what the 03
is in the A203 but you could call and ask them if you haven't
already.
