Germain Leopold Bertrand Bernard was born in Versailles 1808 and died 7-11-1870. His firm continued to operate 1870 to 1879 at 49 Rue de Villejust, and in 1889 was at 129 Av de Versailles in Paris but ceased operations in 1890. Other pre-WW I Gastinne Renette doubles have been identified with his mark and Whitworth steel tubes.

It is not known if another barrel maker acquired the Leopold Bernard trademark after 1890, but clearly someone did.
