Welcome Don. It looks like you have an early D grade. What I can see of the engraving looks well done. It does look like you have a replacement stock and it looks like some work has been done to the gun. Assuming a good gunsmith checks it out, it should be a good gun to take hunting or shooting with some RST shells.

Thanks for your feedback. we are going to a gunsmith next week for a checkup.
I've attached a photo with a slightly better view of the engraving. I don't know any of the history of the gun, how can you tell if the stock has been replaced ? |

Welcome as well.
An early grade 3, which is a great find. As dean suggested, the buttstock is a replacment as it lacks proper drop points and the checkering is incorrect. Sounds like the the barrels have beer cut. Also the entire frame looks to have had its finish removed by some means. Looks bead blasted or something:
