Jim may very well be correct, but in my estimation, it's a $200 grade. The ball grip guns usually had a gold escutcheon on the ball, which this gun has. SN would definitely help in determining if the fore end latch is original, but my guess is it is. Checkering pattern is better than a $200 grade, but the lessor engraving is why I think it's a $200 grade. In any case, it's a handsome gun, and the price seems right.
