Thank you so much for ALL of your replies! I value honesty! Mr. Fishtail, your post wasn't mean at all. I know boats and saltwater fishing. I know boat, tackle and gear information and values. Not guns - obviously. My granddaddy will treasure this gun until the day he dies. He's 84 and still using a climbing tree stand - most of the time. My mom was his bird dog growing up and then he had me. I took over his fishing passion more than hunting. I plan on contacting Mr. C Grade and taking it to him for inspection. I can't thank you all enough. One day, I know I will lose my precious Grandfather and this gun will come back to stay with me. I would just like for him to safely and happily fire it as much as he wants and enjoy owning a brand of gun he has wanted for the longest time. I was probably 6 or 7 and we were looking for arrowheads after the fields were plowed when I first remember him mentioning it. I'm sure you fellas are of just the same caliber! Here are a few more pics I took this afternoon. One is of the dents that don't appear to involve the inside of the barrels. Another is of 2 other markings that I assume are from an inspector? I tried to get another one of the CV mark - maybe it is really an OV. And one from Christmas of me and my Granddaddy
