It does look like a D grade, what is the difference in the engraving between this C grade and a D ?

It has finer detail than a D grade. It also has wrap around checking on the wrist as well as 5 birds on the floor plate as opposed to 4. The scroll work is better as well.

The late 1800 and early 1900 Cs don't have a lot of difference from Ds from what I have seen unless they were rondells.
