The line of much higher grade guns manufactured by Sears/Meriden Fire Arms Co. were called "THE MERIDEN GUN" rather than Meriden Hammerless. The 1910 catalog shows the following grades - A with Whitworth, Krupp, or 6-blade damascus for $250 with AE, B with Krupp or 6-blade for $185 with AE, C with Krupp or 4-blade for $110 with AE, D "Trap Gun" with Krupp or 3-blade for $90 with AE, E "Quail Gun" with Krupp and ONLY 16G for $60 (no AE offered), F with Krupp or 3-blade for $60 with AE, G with Krupp for $40. Production of these guns was apparently quite limited. It is not known if the intended market for these more expensive models may have been Fred Biffar's company or other national dealers.
In 1910, $250 would have bought a Smith Monogram or Parker AHE; $185 a Smith 5E or BHE.
