A very nice untouched hammer gun. It appears that a good cleaning is all that is necessary. I would be very happy to have that one in my collection.

For some unexplicable reason I've come to really really like top lever hammers on a 1 frame in 12 gauge regardless of the grade .
 Sadly I only have one in a Grade 2 with a major wrist repair .

If it's priced so that you can afford it, buy it(!) Regret is hard to live with. A gun is a lot easier to live with.

Does the bit of engraving on the gun lead to the conclusion that it is a Grade 1 rather than a 0 Grade as listed in the serialization book? Or maybe it is marked 1 somewhere on the gun?

I will get the gun later this week and post better pictures which could help sort it out, but I agree that it seems to be a Grade 0.5

The double line border engraving along with the Twist barrels would seem to indicate a Grade-0. It’s those little scroll flourishes on the lock plates that tend to confuse things a bit.

There can't be that many of these around that are any cleaner than this one. I have a 32" 1883 0-grade with twist bbls that doesn't have any engraving on the side plates so this one does seem about like a 0.5-grade. It sure has been well cared for. Great gun. You won't regret buying it.
