The castle proofmarks are a Scott insignia - like the polo player on a Ralph Lauren shirt. They do not indicate a grade.

Premier-grade guns are marked The Premier Quality - on the rib and I think on the action flats.

Top-grade hammerguns made before The Premier Quality name was introduced do not have this name on them. I just came across one in pretty minty condition. It's a pre-Premier Premier.
