Dean's image is from
Manufacture Liegeoise D'Armes A Feu Damascus Salesman's Samples, published in
Parker Pages in 2008 courtesy of Ken Waite Jr.
It has a subtle "Rose Pattern" and is clearly marked Bernard I.
No. 15 is labeled Bernard II and a more prominent "Rose Pattern". Maybe Dean could post a full size image.
It appears to me that No. 16 is "black & white" and No. 15 "browned"?
This is the Damascus sample display in the
Buchsenmacher u. Jagdmuseum of Ferlach, Austria courtesy of Charles A. Herzog Sr. and Richard B. Hoover. Unfortunately the sample segments could not be removed from the display cases so the images were taken through the glass
