Charlie ,It has an 1866 Patent Date and was built in 1874 according to the Serialization Book and our Home Page ! It must be an #1 Grade as near as I can figure and has the second style of Forearm release with the Slot for your Thumb Nail to push it out to get the forend off ! No Engraving just Parker Brothers on each side of the receiver and one Barrel Band and the Screws are engraved nicely ! The Gun does have " Parker Brothers Meriden Conn. Stub Twist " on the Barrel Rib ,according to TPS the Stub Twist barrels were not on the O Grade but on the next ,I am assuming it would be referred to as the # 1 Grade , You Fellows correct me please if I am wrong !
