Apparently, the earliest Tournament Grades had the "Black Diamond" in the grip as well as the Trap and Pigeon Grades.

Winchester revised this February 1914 folder adding that the "Black Diamond" would be omitted from the Tournament Grade.

In the 1915 folder the Trap Grade is listed in all three gauges --

while the Tournament Grade remained 12-gaauge only --

and is pictured without the "Black Diamond."
