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.

Thanks. I did not take the gun apart and examine it, but I will to take pictures. How can i tell if it is a Runge? did he hide his name in the engraving or somewhere on the gun?

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

Post the pictures and the serial number and you may get some opinions.

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