Angel, that's perhaps the highest quality grade 5 I have ever seen. It's just as well I wasn't there, or I'd have some 'splainin to do'

There was also a 250 Dollar Grade, but in my simplistic opinion, the B was nicer.

Angel, in your post that showed 2 guns that you described as grade 0, the 2nd gun appears to have the engraving comparable to what is shown as Grade 1 in the pictures of various grades on the home page.
My 16 is totally barren, which initially led me to believe it was a grade 0, but my historical letter called it a grade one. As Austin Hogan explained to me, the grade was based on the selling price, and because it was a 16, elevated it from 0 to 1. You didn't say, but what ga. is that gun? Have you gotten a letter on it that calls it a grade 0 ? Because if you do, if I thought I was confused before, I surely am now. It would seem to me it is a grade 1 at the very least, but if it's a bore smaller than 12, what Austin said would imply it would be a grade 2.

Edgar, that's my 16 ga Lifter and the letter says Quality 0. The first time it sold was for 70.00.

I give up. Mine also sold for $70, but has no engraving. Wanna trade?

I thought that would clear it up for you. As for the trade, with an LOP of 13 inches I don't think you can use it.
I'm a small frame 5ft 8 in. and I have a hell of a time shooting it. This got to be the smallest shotgun I've ever shot. I'm beginning to think the Dr who owned it was a small man, a woman or for his wife.
