A 10 gauge A-grade that I inspected near Plymouth, Ma that was found in an attic by the niece of an old gent who died turned out to be one of a fifty gun order of various lower grades. There were two A grade 10's in the order and if memory serves, were consecutively numbered. All of them went to a dealer in Boston and get this..... they were all priced at $50 each (wholesale)

Iver Johnson in Boston is shown on several orders that I have seen where groups of mixed grades of guns were sold to IJ at severely reduced prices. It is assumed that the guns were somehow damaged or returned from consignment from other dealers.
