Dean, all of my sculpted bolster lifters (3) are grade 2s without birds. My earliest is #14830, a 12 on a 2 frame. The second, #18716, is a 10 on a 3 frame. The 3rd, #19134 is also a 10 on a 3 frame. My #19347, a 12 on a 1 frame is a grade 1 with roll marked engraving that is very similar to the grade 2. The major difference between the engraved guns and the roll marked or stamped guns is that the side plate screw and the hammer screws are not marked, stamped or otherwise. Also, the border stamping on the sideplates is geometrically designed (triangles with dots inside a double outline) rather than wavelike border on the engraved guns.
