Default 0 grade lifter

Just picked up a grade 0 lifter #18743. It's a 1 frame,12 ga. 28"twist brls.,straight stock. but it has border engraving around each lock with a small amount of floral engraving at each end of locks,checkering and very small amount of engraving around the screw that holds locks together also some outline engraving on hammers.other than this it is a 0.
It has perfect bores and is tight. missing butt plate.I plan to make it my hammer grouse gun
Is this small amount of engraving normal for 0 grades?I have not seen very many lifters but noticed one on "hammer guns" that was near mine in ser.# but no engraving?

Thanks for all the info and knowledge on this sight. Herb

Without seeing photos of it, I would say it is likely one of the 0 grade guns with the roll stamp design around the lock plates. Parker did this for a short while. It was the start of any sort of decoration on an O grade.
