How Many "C" grade 12's made

Does anyone know how many Fox "C" grade 12 gauges were made? I have looked in the MM book and see that they were only produced from 1905 to 1913 (page 377). From 1914 to 1946 every "C" had ejectors unless custom made I presume. I have recently purchased SN 14xxx (my first) and it is away for refurbish. I will post pics when I get it back. This site has been very helpful and I appreciate the help and answers.

Check out my article in the Double Gun Journal Summer 2012, A.H. Fox C-Grade- A Great Choice for the Shooter and Collector, page 110. I determined from the factory records that 1115 12ga C's were made with late style engraving. Complete records do not exist for early graded guns. When I wrote the article I estimate 1540 early style C's from the incomplete records. Since that article was written we believe there is large gap in the early records in which no guns were made, therefore the estimate I made of early guns is overstated by about 30% in my opinion.

You would need to buy a copy from the publisher or find one on eBay.
