The front forearm in this picture came off an early A-Grade, but I've generally considered this to be the B-Grade pattern, with the "normal" A-Grade pattern not having the little point to the rear in the middle of the bottom. Middle is a 1920s A-Grade forearm, and rear is a Savage-era A-Grade forearm.

I suspect the B-Grades may have generally had slightly finer checkering then the A-Grades but I've never really done an LPI study on Fox checkering.
