Hammer Guns Without Checkering

[Mills]

My back action lifter with Decarbonized steel barrels has checkering (or the remnants of checkering) and it must have been equivalent to a 0 grade

My theory is that before grades, there was a lot of variation among the different "grades" or price points and one reason they introduced standardized grades was to cut down on the confusion. Just my thought though

Mills, Backaction guns with factory checkering were considered "delux" grade guns in the 1869 catalog.
