This is barrel 1 maybe this will give you better look Dean, sorry these are poor cellphone pictures.
Both barrels are the same I believe.

It still looks like smaller tighter crolle. Do the flats have the single D or the double DD?

It is my opinion the the checkered cheeks are completely original. I would be surprised if the letter does not call them out. And even if it doesn't, I would still say that they are.

Letter states Mark Guard Special, is this more than normal D Grade?

Dean Romig

It has just a little more ‘flourish’ in the scroll engraving at the front and rear than normally seen on a grade 3 but not a lot. It may have taken the engraver an hour or less to accomplish that extra flourish.
May we see the trigger guard “strap” where the serial number is engraved?

No mention of recoil pad ?

No sir, all I know is pad I replaced was on it a long time and hard as a rock. I am trying to back trace history on gun, appears to be a gun from my area.

The engraving on the strap looks like the ‘standard’ grade 3 engraving.

Yes, curious as to what the specially marked guard reference is about. Not much out of the ordinary about that guard as we can see.

Scott Gentry

Wish I knew also, even removed guard to look underneath but only found serial number. Maybe for that era it was slightly more engraving, did note from letter apparently no extra charge like it was for checkering.
