Dollar Grade Gun

[todd allen]

Need some help figuring this gun out. Grade, and value.
I've owned this one about 30 years now. Came to me from Chaddicks.
It's a 30" 12 gauge. Dimensions are very good at: 14" LOP, 1 3/4" DOC and 2 1/8" DAH
Herchel thought it was a "B", which we know it isn't. Oscar Gaddy thought it was a $250 Grade based on the tear drop inside the tear drop on the bolsters.
Once I get this one sorted out, I will be onto a 16 Ga project.
Here's some pics:

Wow. Hershel would like to have that one back. I would like to have it also. What a great gun.

Looked like RGT, but you can see it better in person that we can in the two photos.

I don’t know that I remember ever hearing your middle name

Oops, after quoting you, you’re name pops up with middle initial, maybe we have something going on here?

Based on what I see, it appears to be a $250.00 grade. Not quite a $300.00 grade due to lack of necessary engraving. A worthy project for refurbishing and chasing the engraving.
