According to http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Syracuse_Arms_Co_shotgun, Syracuse Arms Company guns were made in two series -- the stock guns, which had grades designated by numbers 00, 0, 1, 2, and 3; and the special order guns which had grades designated by letters, A, A-1, B, C, and D. List prices in the 1902 catalogue ranged from $30 for the 00-Grade with Triplet Steel barrels to $475 for the D-grade with either Whitworth Fluid or Damascus barrels.

So, in the reverse of what we Parker enthusiasts are accustomed to, the special order Syracuse guns went from the lower grade of "A" to the highest "D"?
