I wish I had kept my 'C' Grade. The engraving was tastefully done and the wood had nice figure. The 'D' Grade Standard Gun and Model 1898 both had a Damascus barrel and more engraving. At least my 1905 Marlin catalog showed Damascus. When they discontinued that option I do not know.

I tried the Marlin today with some RST 2-1/2" Maxi Lites. It functioned flawlessly and the hulls did not exhibit any signs of excessive headspace. Soon, I should have another barrel for it....a 26" version with a modified choke.
