In the pictures of my own D-grade shown on page 1 of this thread, notice the level of engraving of the two guns are very similar, 5949 has no vignette engraved on the rear of the lock plates as does the OP gun but again, the level of engraving would be very similar in terms of hours spent engraving the two guns.
Another point I will make is that Grade-3 guns saw the beginning (was the lowest grade of) the four-pin lock plates... so it is definitely not a Grade-2. .

Will try to get some out tomorrow. Starting to think having this old girl refreshed, if the dents will lift, I think that will be the path. Now, how to decide who to get for the work? Want to get the letter first, to see if any light is shed in the plain hammers!

The only realistic explanation for the hammers is that they are not original. They are not the correct style, not engraved and they dont have the gun’s serial number on them.
Now, your hammers can be reworked to be made to look correct. A little filing, and little engraving, done.

The grade three lifter hammer should have a small bead at the top of the shank where it joins the hammer section, and a cock spur on the rear of the hub, facing inward. |

I love that pistol grip treatment on guns of that era!
