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.
