FYI -
The "Utility Grade" is what Chaddick's used to call the "Brousse." So they are the same gun. The difference between the Brousse and the "PH1" is the engraving and maybe a better grade of wood. But the Brousse is available in any grade wood, so I'd say that comes down to your personal likes & dislikes of an individual piece.

The Brousse has mostly roll-stamp or impressed type engraving, where the PH1 is hand engraved. Other than that, they're identical. Fit, Finish, regulation, etc... they're the same. "PH1" was never a Chapuis designation for the grade... It's a Chaddick's designation for a hand-engraved Brousse.

As to the price... I strongly suggest you call these guys. I've purchased from them (saved over $2K from Chaddicks) and believe you will be well pleased in the price of a new one as compared to the used one you're looking at.
