lan; No apology needed for me. I,m thankful for your intrest. Its not a best grade because it does not have a scalloped receiver. It does have two sets of crossed axes on the bbls. I thought it was a higher grade because about 50% of the frame has scroll engraving and the highly figured wood. Its not like the lower grade pictures in the Carder book.
Wish I could post a picture but cannot.
Its my first English SXS and I,m happy with it.
