What does the letter following the grade and color mean ? Such as A, C, C-D. Is it clarity and if so can someone explain how to determine clarity ?

Not sure how to post PDFs so here's a snagit of it..... This one was hard to find. I think it's from one of their old fur publications. I can take a pic of the clarity explanation from the bible when I get home.

They do the same thing as NAFA used to do, have a list of abbreviations (NAFA used to send it in the envelope with your check and fur sheet) and then use a whole nuther set of abbreviations for most animals that either are not on the sheet, or mean something different than what is on the sheet.

I understand all the grade terminology . It’s the color letters . From the chart letters ABCD are about color according to chart they have nothing to do about quality. The chart says A is dark. Select LT BRN A doesn’t make sense. It’s light brown dark ?
