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.
