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 ?

A is dark
B is brown
C is Light brown
D is pale

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.

Now I’m even more confused.
My fisher at FHA are graded as follows.
LT BRN A
XPL C
PL-XPL
PL C-D
XPL-XXPL C-D
PL C
LT BRN D

light brown hide quality A
extra pale hide quality C
pale hide quality C-D
extra pale or extra extra pale hide quality C-D
pale hide quality C
light brown hide quality D

they use to divide between male and female and sizes also

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 ?

The letters indicate clarity (a type of colour) when pelt colour is already iidicated
A-clear
B-slightly off
C-off
D-badly off/stained.
you see it used a lot in the grading of cat bellies but it pertains to other species also,not just the bellies.
Grading terminology is covered in your fur bible (wfmc) for every species.
