On another thread there was a question about proper barrel rib markings. For Bernard barrels, TPS states that a roll stamp was not made until the mid 1890's, with prior Bernards having the rib inscription hand engraved.
It is not unusual to find Bernard and Damascus barrels from high grade guns without arrows on opposite ends of the rib I have several with curly-cues or squash blossoms, the latest being a 1904 gun.

I have an early one frame underlever 12 gage twist barrel gun that Austin gave me several years ago,. I decided to upgrade it to an A grade, had Sam Welch do the engraving and Brad do the stock , CC work and metal work. Lord willing hope Brad will have it to me by the annual meeting!! Austin is one fantastic man.
