Question

Jim, you have a very interesting gun.

The engraving on the breach balls, hammers, and sidelocks looks like a Quality 2 Grade G however there is no letter or number designation on the receiver water table nor on the barrel flats. Also, the barrels are twist steel (this is what the large T inside the semi circles means plus what is on the rib.) Grade 2's should have damascus steel normally. Did you find the number 33767 on the left barrel lug or the last 3 digits of the s/n on the face of the barrel lug?? It could be that the barrels are a replacement if you don't find the serial number on the barrels. The forend should also have the s/n on the forend metal.

Also, take a picture of the checkering pattern on the forend and the underside of the receiver.

Looks like the stock is pulling away from the receiver, is this the case?

Let's get some other opinions from the group
