Default Old Shooters

To carry the point a little farther about grading the older guns, here are a few old shooters that obviously vary in grade, but I believe the first gun is the highest grade gun even though it doesn't have the most or best engraving. What do some of you think?

Todd, great looking hammer guns, thanks for sharing. The grade of these guns made before the order books were started will remain a mystery.

Seventh photo from the top: Thought I was looking at a coon till I saw the flushed quail? Very beautiful engraving, although the dog on this right lock looks like he got ahold of one too many blackberry briars.
I agree the top gun looks to be the highest grade, though they're all beautiful in their own way; just like snowflakes
