Todd, this is from the 1878 price list but it is the same as the real early price list description except they didn't offer a pistol grip. I believe I've also seen many of these 0 grade guns with checkering but can't tell if it's original or added at a later date.
"Plain Twist Barrels, no Engraving or Checking. Pistol Grip; No 12 Gauge. $55.00." "Ditto with Straight Grip, $50.00." This was the lowest grade comparable to a Grade 0.
