A 10 gauge A-grade that I inspected near Plymouth, Ma that was found in an attic by the niece of an old gent who died turned out to be one of a fifty gun order of various lower grades. There were two A grade 10's in the order and if memory serves, were consecutively numbered. All of them went to a dealer in Boston and get this..... they were all priced at $50 each (wholesale)
