Improved Modified...If what you're asking is the leading edge of the forend iron on the Sterlingworth different than graded models the answere is yes in most, but not all cases. I have seen some Sterlingworths that have had this area rounded.
In the first pic below you will see the leading edge of the forend iron is straight vertically.
In this second pic this area on my gun has been rounded or curved by Mark Beasland to make this area just like the graded Fox guns . This adds sex appeal and makes the gun mo' better!
