1893 World's Fair - CH - Bernard #70578
 

A Columbian Exposition gun (TPS) just in to me last week - A few pics I hope you all enjoy.

12 gauge 30 inch Bernard barrels - Skeleton Butt - DT - splinter - as found appears untouched in any way. Certainly looks H. Gough engraved. Extensive detail - cell phone pictures - all I have. Perfect Duck dimensions with 3" DAH. Well used not abused. Most likely has sat in a family closet for numerous decades. I will get the cob webs out of her soon!

Shipped to E.K.Tryon Jr. & co. in Philidelphia at the end of the fair and the trail runs cold from there. I would appreciate any info that could be shared on this gun. PM or reply to this thread. Thanks in advance -Its much appreciated.

Nice find, what a great C.

WOW .You Have to Love the Dog engraving on the Bottom of the receiver ,that's the first time I have seen that ! Great Gun !!!!! Congrats !

What a nice gun, great find. Love those dogs..

If it had the single bead behind the fences it could easily be a BH. Nice early engraving motifs and unusual for a CH. Exceptionally nice!! Thanks for sharing that one.
Please show us the wood when you get a chance.

Thanks for the kind words guys. A couple more pics - again cell phone -

Was that the one I saw at Brads ? I t looked great.

Superb gun Mark!

That's really 'over the top' Mark - and with a fishtail too!

Paul - not from Brad's ....as far as I know - it may have come through there before it got to me but i dont think so.

Dean - Good eye! I forgot to mention the fishtail !
