Being kind of ignorant on this topic, what are the differences between this style and types A, B, and C trade guns?

well basically  the C is more ornate  then the D . C being earlier then the D .
The G has alittle different wrist , very distinctive , almost  like an egg laid on its side  and some examples show a dramatically tapered stock to the muzzle   .
 Now the other thing is that there are some that disagree with the  whole C, D , G  designation

I think the big arguement comes when assigning a C or D or G type to a gun when they are actually classifications of furniture from different time periods, and not a particular style of gun, you could take the same stock and put either cCor D furniture on it and aside from the hardware the guns would look much similar.
