Edgar... I was not referring to the checkering pattern and unfortunately left out the word "latch" in my post. I know that pattern was the standard used from Grade 3 up to Grade 6 with "check all over" being an option - the only difference being the LPI was finer in Grade 5 and 6 guns. Grade 3 and 4 often (but not always) shared the same LPI in the checkering.

The forend tip Edgar shows from a BHE has extra sculpting only found on Grade 5 and higher guns and the subject gun does not have that extra sculpting, aside from the engraving being somewhat plainer than we would expect to see on a Grade 5.

Not intending to denigrate the gun at all.... just discussing it's peculiarities.
