No Grade Stamp

[B. Dudley]

At that time period, the lack of grade stamps is not uncommon. But, at that time, the grades were clearly defined, for the most part. The D indicates damascus barrels, which makes it at least a grade 2 gun.

When looking through books that require a Grade set of letters such as AH, BH, CH, DH TROJAN, etc. to determine the value, and without them is what's got me stumped.

Not necessarily Brian... and I'm looking at one Damascus tube and one Twist tube. That being the case, I think it would be a stretch to call it a grade 2.... I'd give it a grade 1. A grade 2 of that era should have ducks or prarie chickens engraved on the lock plates and a single bird in a round vignette on the bottom of the frame.
