My only hammer gun. 1885 C Bernard top action hammer 12ga. Spent many years at the Charles Parker Salesroom in New York City, and went back and forth several times to Meriden, one of them presumably to have the rib matted when matting came out in 1886.
Forgive my ignorance....the bent top lever, is it factory correct ?
