The major obvious difference between D and C grades as a whole is the grip checkering pattern. Cs are the first grade to use what i call an "organic" pattern. By way of engraving, the use of heavy patterned borders and varying floorplate scenes are what sets the C grade apart from the D.
I always like to call the C grade as the first grade in the line where unique qualities are really observed from gun to gun.
True, every gun has unique qualities since they were all hand built, but in a matter of standard, the grades up through D were done in the same patterns and layouts.
