Austin,
It seems by the letter that the Twist barrels were ordered in 1880, also explaining the "2" stamping. The Damascus barrels are the original set, listed in error in the books. I would guess a $100.00 dollar grade on up, by descriptions in the 1874 Reduced Price List. How would you describe the rest of the gun? Type of walnut, etc?
Another thing to try is look for a grade number stamped near the serial number, in the wood underneath the trigger guard. I realize that Parker Brothers did not have a grading number system in place in 1875, but they were working on it for the future. I used to own #3313, made in 1874, which had such a number stamped in the wood.
