The serial number is not in the "book". So there is no way for any of use to determine the grade or original configuration based on that.
The grade will be stamped on the water table of the frame along with the serial number.
If you say the steel type may be wiped out with a punch or something on the barrels, that is concerning. It is either Damascus that someone blued over and trued to hide that it was. Or, the barrels are sleeved with fluid steel and the Damascus/twist marking is whipped out due to that.
This happened a lot years ago when Damasucs barrels we "unsafe" to shoot.
