This is the first gun I have ever seen with Bernard Damascus barrels. We are accustomed to seeing the more typical (to students of the Parker anyhow) Bernard barrels seen on Grade 4 Parkers.
We know Bernard made various designs of pattern welded steel barrels and there are examples of each in salesman's sample kits we have seen. Perhaps Dr. Drew Hause can show examples for us.
