I was able to check Bernard from off of my bucket list of guns-to-own-before-I-die. I have a few more to check off, so I'm not dead yet.

Garry: please show us some more barrel. The rosettes seem much less prominent and that may be Bernard I.

This is the best I have handy. The gun is from 1896.

Thank Garry.

Does anyone have a Bernard C with other than a 'B' on the barrel flats?



Do the original order books specify Bernard, Bern 1, Bern 2??
