Metz grades- numbers or letters?

I have been offered a Metz grade “A” neck.
Hook and Hackle uses a number designation.
Is grade “A” the same as #1?
Thanks, CM

I believe it is. But I bet it’s not a true #1. That all depends on the company and how openly they rate their skins.


Best to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Something I seldom remember to do.

Where do you see H&H using Letter designations? They have always used the normal Metz number system. See their 2005 catalog or also on the web: [url=http://www.hookhack.com/metzhackle.html:cef37]http://www.hookhack.com/metzhackle.html[/url:cef37]

I have no interest in the business but am bothered by misinformation.

Perhaps Ray Kunz needs to learn to read before he accuses someone of misinformation.

No Problemo! I always have to reread, even my own stuff!
I’m so glad to have the info found on this site!! Thanks to all!
