It could be Gary, but it is more likely a result of the angle of the gun in the pictures and probably a lot of drop in the stock dimensions. I've seen quite a lot of pictures of guns that were severely distorted by the camera's wide-angle lens.

If it were built with a sinestral stock you'd think it would be mentioned in the letter.

The engraving just peaked my curiosity on this one(it seemed out of place), especially since it had decarbonized barrels.

I'd be curious to see what the engraving on the side plates looks like.

Mills,

As I mentioned earlier, I once had an early lifter that was engraved very similarly. It was serial 4216. It had damascus steel barrels. See below photos of the engraving on that gun.

I do not know. I never had a letter on it or anything.

I always considered it an equivelant to a grade 2.

That gun should be late enough that the forend checkering pattern would tell us if it was a grade 1 or a grade 2 (2 point pattern or 3 point pattern).

I do not have the gun or any of it's parts anymore. I will have to look back through the photos that i have of it to see if i have any of the Forend checkering.
