I believe that the pattern on the C grade Remington was star damascus. I had the opportunity to buy one for about $200 in the early 1980's. The gun was almost new except for a crack in the stock around the wrist. I went back to the same gunshop a year later and to my suprise they still had it but the price was higher. This was up in Maine. I didn't have the money either time. It is one of my most regretfull gun buying opportunities. I still remember that vivid damascus finnish with the little clusters of stars in the pattern.
