Default C-Grade

Not a vintage double, but this is the first Remington Sportsman C-Grade I've seen. Up for sale on one of the boards.

From its introduction in 1930 (20-gauge) and 1931 (12- and 16-gauge) The Sportsman was catalogued in the C "Trap" Grade through 1937. No The Sportsman C "Trap" Grade in the catalogs from 1938 onward.

So far I've recorded three The Sportsman B "Special" Grades, all in 12-gauge --

I've yet to see a Remington Model 17 or 31 pump marked as a B-Grade. Every one I've seen advertised for sale or pictured as a B-Grade IMO is just an A "Standard" Grade from the time period that they came with checkered wood, 1929 to 1937.
