Bruce,

From my observations, I would have guessed that gun to be a C grade based on the look of the bolsters. On a $200 grade the "tear drop" (for lack of a better description) would have been a full length and gone almost to the barrels. 'C' grades were the transition grade for the "tear drop" because the 'D' didn't have it and the 'C' had a short one like the one in that picture and the 'B' and up had full length "tear drops".

Based on that alone I would guess the one above it is also a 'C'?
