Reading through the other thread on Baker guns I noticed the posters saying an A grade was marked with an A. I purchased a gun at an auction and it was listed as an A grade but there is no A marking on the gun. How do I determine if this is an A grade or another grade?

Here are a few pictures related to the A and B grades. Hanging tags, shipping crates, and what may be an original case for an A grade owned by a Maine sea captain. The hanging tags are for an earlier B grade and not related to the cased A Grade.

A note found inside of the case of the cased A Grade above.
It reads " Do not use high powered shells in this gun.
The manufacturer says to use the old type powder.
Dad"
