Thanks for your reply Dave.I have spent the last week pouring over different sites and ads for these guns and have come to the conclusion that while I paid what could be considered top dollar,there are people who have paid just as much for guns that to me,are not as nice as the one I picked up. Seems to me the Ideal grades are not as highly looked upon as the other grades. I kind of put them on the same level as the Fox A-grades. The letter I received stated this one was built in Nov.1913.Any other thoughts out there?
