If you would, post a foto of the Bernard tubeset serial number & put the number in text on the Bernard thread?

There will be no need to refinish any of the metal now, I used a little bit of everybody’s advice. It looks much better than the cell phone pic now. Thanks again, all of you.

JJ Perodeau has this thing now. I thought he would be the best choice for a Guyot/Bernard gun. Can’t wait to hunt behind a brace of good dogs with this one! Put together a few 7/8oz longshot loads (just reduced 1oz to 7/8, 1oz was 1140fps)for my other 16ga Damascus, will send some off to get tested with different primers plus or minus a grain to get most velocity at 5000psi. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

[quote=Drew Hause]I have never seen a monobloc British barrel, nor damascus tubes (3 Iron 'British Best') joined to damascus breech.

Well I stumbled on one

Thank you. The breech crolle pattern is a bit more apparent in this image
I wish the seller had included a shot of the flats which should have a date of proof after the sleeving

Guyot came back from Mr. Perodeau. On face, newsprings on firing pins said it’s all original so not to blue or brown anything. Will have wood refinished very soon, but will take his advice on leaving metal original. Nitre blue triggers would sure look better though.

Nice effort. That is a Southpaw/Left-Handed hammergun?
