I got to worrying that I was wrong about the grade so I dug it back out and checked. It is an ten bore with Damascus barrels, serial #57431, there is a 3 above the serial number and a "D" below. The engraving on the action panels is of pointing dogs not birds like on my G grade guns. So from the above I concluded it was a D grade. Am I wrong? I have a similar marked 12 bore that has drop points on the stock cheeks and I believe it is a D grade also.
I'm certainly no expert but do love old side by side shotguns or rifles no matter what gauge or caliber or who made them.
Best regards to all who have chimed in.
