Fellas:
Actually both are correct as it depends on which catalogue you view. In the version for the Chicago Exhibition of 1893, the price is in units of Guineas(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea_(British_coin) ). But in the Double Rifle catalogue of 1921 the price is listed as "Price (pound sign)131 5 0", as pounds, schillings and pence??? But the origin of the price in the grade probably defaults to the Guineas.
F is for "Facile Princeps", but Greener notes "This pattern ejector adds from 6 to 8 ozs. to the weight for the F.P. Hammerless Rifles." So is H for "Hammerless" or "Ejector". From this I would say "Hammerless". Also, "Grade R.G.T. 125." is the Greener "Unique" system of ejector. But how does D equate to "Box-lock"?
Would R.F.H.T. be Rifle, Facile Princeps, Hammerless, T??
Falling block actions(Webley & Farquharson) are "Grade U. 40".
Martini actions are "Grade M.V.12."
Then again in the back of the 9th Edition all "Grade F.H. #" are "Fore-end Ejector.
