Not mine, a buddy's. I have a few nice ones, but not consistantly and not that many.
The records on the vent rib Bernard do not show it was made with those features but the work is clearly factory work, SN on underside of rib, etc. The rib is Bernard steel also, kinda cool. When Parker was using these damascus barrels, they must have received shipments of damascus and Bernard rib stock but I don't know that any new old stock ribs have been found.
My buddy won't post here because of some comments made by some of our posters, so I post for him because he also believes in keeping interest high and we have the same passion for these old guns. I'm more imune to adverse comments.
