The two other known C grade Bernard hammer guns are shown in the Hammer Guns section under Fraternal C Twins. Readers will see the close similarity in engraving. One of the photos follows here.

My gun came from Gary and in an earlier series of transactions, I benefitted from the serious ( and complex) trades Gary mentioned. Thanks to Gary for being a friend to serious Parker collecting and exhibiting. Maybe at some point all three Bernard hammer guns can be shown together. Gary's is a wonderful specimen.

Even the lower grade G and P hammer guns can be special , and can restored carefully to attractive and useful guns.

Gary, Maybe a beach towel would hold those long barrels, and maybe the golden towel guy can help. No, what am I thinking, they don't have beach towels in Kansas.

Gary,
You are killing me!

Great gun Gary. Maybe not drinking is the problem.:)

Gary and Bruce
what are the serial numbers of those C grade Bernard guns?
304XX range?

SN 36,491, a Parker Bros New York Salesroom show gun.

I think now that there are about five known, still a small number.

Thanks Bruce for your prompt reply to my inquiry.
I bought 30427 yesterday.
We are talking junkpile.
I will post some pictures. You would never know it had Bernard unless you looked in the Book.
I actually can't tell yet if they are Bernard. You will see what I mean.
