The "C" guns had the ejector spring added, the receiver was made 1-1/2 hundredths thicker on each side, slide lock spring changed and rounded end magazine plugs. This started in February 1898 after 47000 guns had been made. Ole Cowboy

The gun I linked is a Pigeon grade and has the quail scene Bill described. You can also see the black diamond in one of the stock pictures. I am glad to be here.
