The C Bernard 16 ga shown previously in this thread is one of three known existent and is the only known 0 frame one. It is a nice and significant gun.

Several 20 gauge Bernards were made and one 28 gauge but none are presently known. The 28ga is a 30 incher. I've been looking for many years.

Who knows, there may be a few of these tucked away in private collections where owners let no one know, or back in closets where their significance is unknown.

One of the few known other small bore Bernards:

That gun was 'well-loved' and I'll stick my neck out to say I think it will be well-loved once again!!

Well, I started my Parker collection this year and I must say that I am hooked.

My 1st was an NH 10 gauge from 1890 with 32" twist barrels.

My 2nd was a DH 12 gauge from 1895 with factory 32" Vulcan barrels.

My 3rd was a VH 12 gauge from 1905 with 28" cut barrels.

My Parker acquisition this year was a VH, 16Ga, frame #1, 30" barrels, all original to the Parker letter I received. Barrels had little blueing at spots, and a couple of dents, the plastic butt-plate was broken and missing a piece. I sent the gun to Brad Bachelder for a clean & strip, dent removal and barrel re-blueing, butt-plate replacement with an original - period correct (with widow's peak), and refreshment of the checkering. The color case is all original. I am very happy with the results. BillK
