I own a Grade 1 MK-70 Miroku, my friend has the Grade 5 The engraving is the most obvious difference, followed by the quality of the wood stock, The grade 5 engraving covers all of the metal body, including the underside, where the two squares open inwards when you open the barrels, these two little squares have no engraving at all on my Grade 1, yet are beautifully deeply engraved on the grade 5 I don't think a grade 2,3 or 4 are available from Miroku, its a grade 1 or a grade 5 only
These high grade shotguns were made in Japan by Miroku in the year 1993.There were only 850 made.
Miroku was making shotguns for different firearms Companies before Browning came along. Charles Daly was one of their biggest customers for shotguns. More info is needed to determine which gun you have. This is not a Browning serial number.
The Miroku shotguns will typically bring 80% of the value of a Browning Citori in similar condition.

Older Charles Daly o/u shotguns were mfg. by Miroku in Japan until the mid-70's, when Miroku began mfg. the Citori for Browning. These Charles Daly shotguns are one of the best bargains out there in a quality used o/u shotgun. They can be found for $500 to $700 for a good used 12 ga. with asking prices for higher grade guns in near new condition approaching $1,000. The later ones of Italian mfg. are more expensive, but are also solid guns. As for the Turkish Dalys, I have no experience with them.
