Todd, I have a couple early guns in the 3-4000 range that have no checking, All the rest of my early guns have checking, I have found that the two without checking also have plain steel barrels, I believe that plain steel barrels are pretty scarce do not know for sure, but do not see many of them . I also believe that they were pretty strong barrels for their time, maybe Chuck can chime in here? Gary

I don't know that this narrows down anything, but here is 9562. It is a 0 grade with barrels marked "Plain Twist". The wood is original and there is no checkering.

I also have 11009 which is also a 0 grade with Plain Twist barrels. It also has original wood, but has what appears to me to be original checkering.
