Default A Five Dog C Grade?
I'm aware of the uncommon 3 dog D grade guns (a dog on each side and one on the floor plate), and even have one of the early hammerless examples.

C grades also had three dogs on occasion, but has anyone encountered any 5 dog C grade guns, hammer or hammerless (two on each side and one on the floor plate)?

If you have one or know of one, could you let me know, please?

Two dogs on each side is a signature feature of the B grade, if I'm not mistaken. Then again, stranger things have happened.

And usually early CH grades had stags on the bottoms.

I’ll wager there is such a creature somewhere out there.

Any leads?

Yikes! I knew there must be some out there. Do you recall the date of manufacture (and serial number)?

Thanks, Dean!!

Thanks, Dean. You are an amazing resource. Now that I see your post, I do recall the gun.

There cannot be many 5 dog Cs out there.

Anyone else have one?

Only 3 dogs on my CHE28, but 6 dogs on my BHE20. A member sent me a grade 6 hammer gun to be cased, with 7 dogs.
