I think Bill is correct that it is not a Grade 0. The wrist and fore end would suggest grade two, but I'd expect a bit more engraving on a grade 2. The letter "U" on the water table has confused me in the past, as it was used to signify a Grade 0 with Twist barrels and a straight stock. In this case, I don't think the U is being used to signify grade, It's shown up in in other guns. Kinda like Waldo. The Damascus barrels are really whats got me leaning towards a 2.
Buy a letter and give Chuck the final word.
