Hi guys,
This is an E. Bernard gun, not a Leopold Bernard.
E probably stands for Ernest. He was in Liege.
He had 2 patents which concurs to the "Brevete" (i.e. patent holder) mark on the barrel.
The gun was retailed before 1870-71, after which Strasbourg became German. Accordingly to the general time frame, the locks are non rebounding.
It's quite nice actually.
Centerfire guns were not that common at that time.
There is some writing on the bottom rib. Can't make it out xbayexxx???.
Best regards,
WC-
