The New Home Page Photo David Dwyer
 
Is there more information on the C Grade pictured on our home page? The beaded breech balls are an unusual touch for a C Grade. Is there a PGCA letter on this great gun?

That is indeed a special C Grade!
The engraving coverage and beading would be fit for an A Grade!

I thought it was an AH when I first looked. It's beautiful.

Proof once again that there are C-grades and then there are C-grades! Very nice.

Brian Dudley 11-24-2013 05:54 PM

Yes,
Very unique. The amount of engraving overall, and even the engraved screw heads in very different for a C.

The great thing about C grades is that they are the first grade in the line up that can be found with truely unique features from others of the same grade. D and below, for the most part are all identical.

Are you sure it is not an A Grade? A beautiful gun no matter the grade.

The beautiful Parker is in fact an AHE grade gun and incorrectly labeled as a C grade. I have seen the gun and the engraving is spectacular!

Brian Dudley 11-24-2013 07:29 PM

That explains a lot.

John Dunkle 11-24-2013 09:57 PM

Well - that will teach me not to believe *everything* I read on the Internet ;)

Correction made...

Thanks Bill..!

John, it appears to still say "C" Grade Engraving. BC
