Looks like a B (5) grade. Due to the single beaded fence. Wow! That is what they call a Relic.
Do you know any history on it as to how it came to be in this condition? Maybe Salvaged from the Titanic??? I don't think the damage will "buff out" as they say. You could TRY to cross drill out the screw that retains the top lever linkage to the bolt and cut out the linkage. But even then, I doubt that the bolt could be worked out if that were done.

It looks like the top lever is in the open position and it appears the barrels are slightly raised, I would have to keep soaking the hinge pin with a good penetrating oil, clamp the barrels in a vice and tap the frame to see if I could ever get any movement on it. You might be able to make out the serial number and know a little about the history of this poor girl.

Well, it's either a Grade 5 or a Grade 6 by that single bead around the bolsters.
Also, judging by the first picture of the barrels, the barrel suffered a catastrophic failure and ruptured probably due to an obstruction. The shooter was so enraged by the incident he immediately flung the gun off into the field and walked home. muttering and cussing the whole way. ... you know - the way golfers do with their clubs after a really bad slice...? .
