That one can be brought back better than many; it's just a matter of time and money. We're very fortunate that we have a number of good gunsmiths available to us at this time who can work magic on a specimen like this one and make it look pretty much brand new.

Kirk,
Let us know how the gun looks when you get it. Take your time with restoration. Ken |

To my eye it looks like more heavy use than abuse.

Roger that Mills. That gun has seen a LOT of field time. If only guns like that could talk and tell their stories.

Kirk, It looks like you have made an astute purchase to me. Currently, the best features of your CH are those Bernard steel barrels, the gun still retains its skeleton steel buttplate, and it seems to lack the refinements that amateur gunsmiths often add.

I only let about 15 minutes pass between the time I found it and when I emailed the seller to buy.. I've always wanted a Bernard barrel gun and have only ever seen one other that cheap. Even though it needs a lot of work, at least I have it.

Browsing through The Parker Story volume II this afternoon and I see that #60068 shows up on page 600 as one of the 45 C.E.P guns ordered by Charles Eddy Parker.
