Yes, C-Grade, 32-inch. Herchel's ad also stated it was "the highest grade known." We now know of a D-Grade and two E-Grades.

Typical of the 'Herschialized' guns that came out when TPS outed the available records; a veritable Court of Miracles - they blind see and the lame walk!! Trust me, you have NO idea!!!

See The Double Gun Journal, Volume Thirteen, Issue 4, page 47, for my article on Philadelphia Arms Co. featuring my gun and the P.F. du Pont E-Grade.
