I called a friend one time to tell him about a ten that was for sale in the Gun List for about $1500. It was not described very well and I'm not much for sending guns back so I hoped my friend would order it in so we could look at it. Destry, hold your hat. It turned out to be a CH 34" Bernard ten with extra set of Remington 34" 3 1/2" magnum barrels numbered to the gun with the original owner's name engraved on the rib of the Bernard barrels and the later owners name engraved on the Remington barrels, both factory done. The gun had a hard life and was refinished and recolored at Remington. I never asked my friend whether he negotiated the asking price to something less than $1500.
