I have a Syracuse era LC Smith 10-gauge F Grade hammer gun (lowest quality) with original stunning stock wood that should have been reserved for only the highest grade Smith guns; and also have a G Grade LeFever with original stock wood way above G quality; and I've seen other similar examples over the years. By the same token, I've seen more than my share of high-grade American double guns will relatively plain and disappointing wood; I suppose folks then are very much as they are now, we all have different tastes when it comes to what we enjoy.
