I was going to saw at first that the gun, based on grade level, should have drop points on the stock. But in one photo i see what is left of VERY worn drop points. So they are there.
These early guns can be a little difficult to tell the dollar grade for sure. I would also say it is equal to a grade 3 gun. Another clue is the pointed checkering pattern. A grade 4 equal would usually have more organic edge to the front of the checkering pattern.
The engraving scenery is very nice. The scenes with hunters and dogs are very similar in style to that of the "chiken thief" gun.
