Drew: SN 11908 is in the book as a D3 or Grade 3 w/ Damascus barrels, the next one is SN 12057 which is a D5 (or B Grade) w/ Damascus barrels. So the fact that your gun has Damascus rather than Twist or Stub Twist makes me believe that it is a higher grade than Grade 2 as does the treatment of the fences. Order a letter from PGCA and find out for sure. There is quite a bit of difference between a Grade 2 and 3 or 4 IMO. Condition too will determine value.

Best Regards, George

We need better pictures of the locks. If the locks are 4 pin I would say the gun is a D but until then I agree with Dean that the gun is a Grade 2 gun.Also the engraving on the fences look to be Grade 2 also

It's a 2. There is no scalloping on the side of the breech balls.
