Don't have them in front of me for numbers, but earliest is an 1874 10 ga lifter that would be, from catalog data, equivalent to a D grade. Latest would be a D gr 16 ga Damascus, a G gr 12 ga Damascus, or an N gr 10 ga Twist. The three are all right after 1900, but I think the N grade is the newest if memory serves.

Earliest - 1901 D grade 12 hammer with fishtail top lever bought from a member several years ago. One of my favorites.
