Yes, C-Grade, 32-inch. Herchel's ad also stated it was "the highest grade known." We now know of a D-Grade and two E-Grades.

Typical of the 'Herschialized' guns that came out when TPS outed the available records; a veritable Court of Miracles - they blind see and the lame walk!! Trust me, you have NO idea!!!
