They are Bernards, and I collect Bernards. At 26" , my guess is that the gun is a 1 frame.

This is an important Parker, and refinishing/refreshing/cleaning up by a non Parker expert gunsmith will degrade value. Best to leave alone until you know what you are going to do with it and then be careful about the selection of the right person. I urge you not to try it yourself.

A PGCA letter may tell you whether the gun was made with a set of Bernard barrels and a set of Titanic barrels (very, very rare) or with two sets of Bernard barrels with the Titanic barrels made later (very rare). Rarer even is the fact that the next gun in line, #130,370 was another multibarrel 26" Bernard C Grade. Maybe they were made for the same person. Please share the information you receive from the PGCA researcher on these two guns.

I was thinking Philip should run right out and buy a lottery ticket. But why, it seems he already hit the lottery. Great find Philip.
