Default 20 Gauge Darne Grade?

Hi all,
Trying to learn more about what appears to be a very utilitarian Darne 20. The mechanics on this gun are well done and slickly made but calling the outer hull aesthetics 'field grade' is being generous. Telling the grade is supposed to be done by counting the grade stamps on the barrel flat and adding ten but...help please, this doesn't seem to add up to me.
