Cody called my Model 21 Skeet Gun "skeet grade" in the letter on it. No Winchester Catalog ever called them "skeet grade." They were the Model 21 Skeet Gun. In the early years the Model 21 Skeet Gun could be had in Tournament Grade, Trap Grade or Custom Built Grade. A few years in the Tournament Grade was dropped and for a few more years the Model 21 Skeet Gun could be had in Standard Grade, Trap Grade and Custom Built Grade. By the late 1930s the Trap Grade was dropped and from then on the Model 21 Skeet Gun was made in Standard Grade or Custom Built Grade (except for those few years it was Deluxe Grade).
