Technically The H in DH is for hammerless. So it would just be a D grade.

And I do not want to be a naysayer, but do we really think that a gun that is likely well over 125 years old is actually unfired? I take it as just a figure of speech?

It would be nice to see it.

So then it would be safer to call it LUIUALN ! LUIUALN would mean “lightly used if used and like new”

“Unfired” is a figure of speech - we all know these guns were test fired at the factory. I once owned an “unfired” Parker hammer gun that was so “as new” there were no shell head impact makes on the breech face, the faces of the hammers showed no evidence striking pins, and so on… It was truly as unfired as it could be after it left the factory.

A new gun can be fired a number of times without there being brass transfer on the breech face.
