While I have several Bernard C's, that one belongs to a friend. That is about an 1889 gun sent back to Parker to have a trap fore end made, reinforced loop added, and ventilated rib installed.
Ventilated ribs started appearing just after World War I. There are a number of Parker Damascus guns retro-fitted with ventilated ribs and/or trap fore ends.
The last known Bernards were made in the early 1920's, however, Bernard barreled Parkers after about 1906 are rare.
