Depending on the year/era, G90 and G125 guns were made.

The G1, G2 & G3 era were before the G60, G70 naming era.

Looking at a 1900 W.W. Greener catalog. In 1900 the G3 was only surpassed in quality by the G Imperial grade.

Description of a G3 from the 1900 catalog: "Best quality gun, engraved and finished in first class style. The lock, cocking, firing, and extracting mechanisms are all contained in the breech action - a sure proof of their simplicity."

A G3 is a higher grade than the G2, G1, G, M1 & M.
