The model of your Sterlingworth is determined by its barrel length. 26" is a Brush, 28" is a Field, 30" is a Standard and a 32" is a Trap. Your gun probably left the factory in early 1928, you can find out the exact date and where it was originally sent by obtaining a factory letter.

It has 30" barrels and your right its 1927-28 but how do you determine the grade?
