I just pulled out an Abacrombie and Fitch catalog from 1932, the grade 4 is the gold inlay gun in the picture. they don't list a higher grade in tyhe catalog but that does not mean that one was not being made.

It sold for $235.25 in 1932.

To put this in perspective a AHE grade Parker was $497, a C grade was $251 and D's were $159
