Great looking gun, Bruce. Thanks for keeping it "all about Parkers" and for sharing some very fine guns.

WOW- what is not to like - Parker - a case with A&F accessories, fantastic damascus pattern, bird dogs and a wood duck for good measure.


I could never own a gun like that


i'd get hurt tripping over tree roots while looking at it

We are still missing 8 of these, 14 C Bernard 16's and 12 C Bernard 20's. Maybe they are out there. TPS projects 12 C Bernard 28's but I don't think so. I know C B 20's were made because I found a few serial numbers. I have never found a C B 28 SN. I would be interested if anybody is aware of any existing C B 20's or 28's.

CH has an absolutely drop dead gorgeous C 20 Damascus with deep cut incised engraving. I'm not saying one is better, they are different, that's all. This one has a different style of engraving.

Bruce,

Stop it you're killing me with these beautiful guns. Thanks for showing us that Parker. It is absolutely beautiful from one end to the other and then the case too. Beautiful workmanship of a long gone time when the world was a quieter place.

TPS, p. 298:

Top action, B4 10ga: 39

Hammerless, B4, 10ga : 39
Same, Damascus: 7

There are a few we have seen with 10/12 ga Bernard/Damacus sets, although the records do not state how many were made. I have a 10ga Dam and 12ga Bernard ( 2 frame) set that you have seen.
