The bolsters would say it's a Grade 3, but I can't see enough of the locks.
The frame size will be stamped on the bottom of the rear barrel lug. I had a 1 frame grade 3 in beautiful condition and it was a joy to shoot. Another member here has it now. |

Yes, it’s a Grade 3and the rest of the engraving and hammers is indicative of the grade as well.looks like a candidate for a restoration as long as the barrel walls are sufficiently thick to safely shoot it.

Ryan
The serialization book shows that serial number to be a 10 gauge with 32” Damascus barrels, no extras, pistol grip stock, and it is a Grade 3, |

How much would it cost me in your opinion...rough guess.....to have this gun restored? And would it be worth it? Or just keep as is for a family momento?

First off, for a restoration, if the bores and barrel wall thickness are good, that stock would need to be replaced. Usually a stock replacement will start around $2K. If you're going that route might as well have it made to your dimensions. Action can be cleaned up inside and out. There are guys who specialize in re-bluing the barrels. Damascus can clean up and cold blue to a gorgeous pattern. Breck Gorman is one guy I would recommend for those barrels. Nice gun. The grade 3 may be the difference between a full restore and selling it for parts. If the barrels are too pitted then Briley could fit a set of full-length tubes to those specific barrels and you could convert it to a 16g or 20g easily.
