there is another bernard barreled gun on gunsinternational....seller originally had two offered. seller doesn't favor us with many photos of the proofs, but you can clearly see that the barrel flats and tubes are marked in quite similar fashion to the subject gun.

so few guns seem to be marked by paris proofing that it makes comparisons difficult....but i seem to recall a comment (somewhere...) that many parisian guns bore no government proofs.
