Default C grade 410

I just looked at a C grade 410 in pristine condition. How many of these exist?

I did not have my books with me so i appreciate you guys ding the research. I will have to take pictures for my friend. Today I saw him with a 35mm with a view finder. He wishes he were living when these guns were made. He's an LC Smith guy and got the gun via Cliff White. Looks like new.

There are way more upgrades than originals. The Robert Runge upgrades are quite valuable.

A serial number will tell us if it is original or an upgrade if there are any surviving records of the gun.

The Robert Runge signature, if present, is occasionally or more often nearly invisible to the naked eye.
