The "D.R." is stamped on the left side of the shank. Up to 1948, they were classed with stars that indicated the quality of the grain. In mid-1949, they began to be sorted with letters from the alphabet (ascending) from "A" to "J". According to some sources, in the decade of the 1970's, the star was dissociated from the classification and began to indicate the size, but soon this classification was discontinued. There are cases in which the "A" was printed and, shortly after, was reconsidered and printed a "B" to improve the classification, getting both printed on the shank (A 2 B). They say that the qualification of the grain depends on the mood of the person doing the evaluation, because there are cases in which a classification "a" has more personality than a classification "D", for example. The easiest classifications to find are between "A" and "E", with from "F" to "J" becoming much more difficult to find. | The "D.R." is stamped on the left side of the shank.
