Missing grade?

[edgarspencer]

Looks to be a 10ga. so it's a Grade 0, (R, a sub category of 0 grade, 10ga. guns). A 3 frame probably has a lot of meat in the barrel wall, so those bores 'might' clean up, but I doubt the stock will stand up to any shooting. I wouldn't speculate on the value. The 'personalizations' on the butt is interesting.

By the serial number chronology 35651 would be an 1883 vintage gun. This price list is from July 1882 --

It appears your gun is a Quality R.

We recently went through all of this for 37865 --

Ok so where would I find the mark for the grade then? And what is the "J" mark in reference to?
