David, the gun is a two barrel set with the Bernards 12ga and the 10s Damascus.

TPS of course would tell us how many 10 ga Bernards were made, but I don't know how many are still around. Almost all Bernard barreled Parkers that I have seen or know of are
No. 2 frame 12ga 30". That is why your two barrel set of 1 frame 12's that you just sold and the BHE that I just showed with 12ga Bernard 1 frame 26 inchers are so uncommon. I know of only a couple 1 frame and a couple 1 1/2 frame 12s. And then the small bores are really rare, 2 sixteen ga 1 frame guns known.

Every once in a while another Bernard surfaces despite at least my thought that all that are out there have been revealed. That's what helps keep collecting interest high. I still have never seen or heard of the few 20 ga Bernards that were made. That's the grail for me.

David, I'm going to stick my neck out and say that the C Grade you have pictured in not your CH 10 Bernard gun.... Am I right?

I have examined a 12/10 CH Bernard gun (both barrel sets are 30" on the 2-frame) and it was originally made as a two-gauge, two-barrel set.

Here are the 26" Bernard barrels with ejectors and twin ivories from a very special CHE built on the 1-frame. I would really love to find the gun ( 118705 ) that this set of barrels came from. 3 lbs., 5 oz. unstruck weight and the flat under the left tube is stamped with a "16".... I have no idea what the 16 represents but this is certainly a 12 gauge set of barrels.

Good catch! No, it looks like my CHE 12ga live bird gun maybe.
Bruce, I wish you had ended up with that 1 frame 2 barrel Bernard set , one of a kind gun. Is the 10ga barrel on your gun original to the gun?
I will try to get the correct picture this time!

The one you showed in your first picture is a Remington era C grade with single trigger and with Robert Runge engraving.

Yes the CH 10/12 is an original set.

Its all right, a friend owns your old gun. But I would like to find a 1 frame 12ga short barrel, or buy Dean's barrels for my C 16 B, they might fit right on.
