As far as I can tell and from what I know of its history, this gun hasn't had any work done on it and all serial numbers match. I believe the wear that it shows comes from real day to day use by the original owner. The barrels are Damascus and the bores have some mild pitting. F9R is stamped above the serial number on the water plate. Is that a grade mark, and if so, any idea what it indicates? Thanks for the replies.
