When I traded for the gun the previous owner said the barrels had been damaged and would have to be cut to less than 18" to be functional. I am not sure what ever happened to the original barrels, but he did have the forend.

Serial number is not in the book and you would need to measure the distance between the center of the firing pin holes to determine the frame size. You can email me at bjamison102@verizon.net. I may have barrels to fit it. Jim

Look through the threads to read the story Bill Murphy put together on the long search for the original Bernard barrels for a gun he had. That length of time would have exceeded my patience level, but it's proof that guns such as yours can eventually be made right. A C grade hammer gun is a rarity and well worth the time and effort of waiting. A grade 2 gun with a good set of barrels, used as a donor, would be one way of getting it back together. The receiver and butt stock look like it's in quite nice condition. You were wise to get it, and hang on to it.

Thanks to everyone who gave me information and advice on this gun. I ended up selling it to a PGCA member who is excited about having it for a restoration project.
