I do not recall seeing a CH grade with checkered side panels as standard feature. Picture number one shows a chip in the stock that has been repaired on the left side where it meets the frame at the bottom. Maybe Im wrong about the checkered side panels but can't find a reference to them on a CH.

Thanks Bruce, I knew that someone would be able to produce one. Was this considered a rare special request to have checkered side panels?

Usually but not always.
Special requests are never rare in C's but as Quality C guns were special order anyway, the unusual was usual. There are many C's with checkered panels. But those checkered stock panels do not look like usual Parker side panels to me because of the rounded end. The price is a bargain. |

Checkered cheeks was not standard on a grade 4.

This is a nice gun.I agree with Dean that it has been recolored.The letter might shed some light on whether it came back to Parker for work.The colors look like early DelGreco to me. Either way,it is a rare gun at a reasonable price.The Parker Story only lists 383 Bernard 12ga CHEs built.

I would be very surprised if more than 20% of those had ejectors.
The cyanide colors could have been done by Remington - check for Remington repair codes on the barrel flat for the left barrel. If it was re-checkered I'll bet a dollar it wasn't done by Del Grego. .
