Boy I sure went stupid there didn't I ? I corrected the text but the title, once set, cannot be edited.
You all are correct of course. For the uninitiated, CH refers to a hammerless gun ( internal hammer), whereas C means external hammer.
George, I think you have the count right. Should be seven known. This one is pretty neat, with the split rail fence. With the D grade guns and lower, the engraving has little variance, but with the C's and above, the first thing you do is see what is in the engraving. Makes them interesting. I would not be surprised if there were at least several more C's still extant and not generally known to the collecting community. Maybe some are good condition, others not so.
