Thank Garry.
Does anyone have a Bernard C with other than a 'B' on the barrel flats? Do the original order books specify Bernard, Bern 1, Bern 2??

Ah the C grade, quite the enigma. My C collection has Damascus, Bernard, Titanic and Acme barrels. It may be the only grade where 4 types of barrels were used.

I also have a Bernard barreled Grade-4 T/A hammer gun and the letter says Damascus too.

Bruce, would that be a 26" 16 gauge with ivory beads? .

Yes Sara, Somebody apparently turned a beautiful A grade, side-cocker with Bernard barrels into a "cowboy action gun" by cutting the barrels down to 22". The ignorance out there is apalling!! Anyway, someone bought the gun and fitted fluid steel barrels to it and put these barrels up for sale on doublegunshop.com and I bought them... Why? you might ask.... I have a soft spot for any kind of orphan I guess. Double or triple click on the pictures I posted where you can see the top rib engraved "Made Expressly For F. A. Elliott" I asked Bob Elliott if this F A Elliott was some relative of his and he said "Not to my knowledge." .
