Default Why Bernard on CH, CHE, andplain old C?

I have looked through the forum and have not seen this discussed. If it has been, my apologies.

I am struck by the curiousness of the decision to put Bernard Barrels on the Grade C guns? I personally find them to be the most striking Damascus pattern I have seen in person and am surprised such a distinctive pattern was not reserved for the higher grades. Now granted I have never seen any finest damascus barrels in person so they may be better in person.

I am certain I am not the 1st to ponder this question so I figure some of you fellows can possibly enlighten me on the matter.

I am sure some of the allure of Bernards is tied to the less common nature of them then regular Damascus patterns, but I still find it somewhat puzzling.
