A PGCA letter could tell you what the original chokes were. A picture may help us determine the actual condition. Good luck. Not a lot of C grades in retail stores.

Case colors do not show up as much on heavily engraved frames. Traces that are left can get lost in the engraving. If the gun does not have ejectors, then it would have been special ordered that way and the order credited the cost for the ejectors, I believe $25. The guard would blued, so if it is all silver, than that is a diecent amount of wear.

A Grade 4 is a C grade. $6000 is a bunch of money unless the gun is in rather high condition. It doesn't sound like it qualifies for that price range.

With the Acme barrels, Even at 60% the gun is probably priced right! and as someone stated there might be some wiggle room. I have owned several "C" grade guns, both bernard, damascus, Titanic and Acme and none of them were less than 6000.00 when purchased a nice C or grade 4 is a good find! Gary
