I handled a C grade 12, serial number 564 (I think). When I left it was still there with its price tag of $2400.
Before you all camp out at the admissions booth for tomorrow's show, be aware that someone has apparently acid cleaned the receiver, so the engraving is going to need chasing on everything but the barrels.
IMHO, a project gun for the not-so-faint of heart.

AND, that's going to set you back more than a little bit.

Laxcoach: Did the C have just the scroll engraving with no game birds?
