The only thing that skews that being a 0-Grade is the Grade-1 or 2 style of evgraving on the top lever. Hard to explain that one...

Thanks!! Do you think the top lever could be a replacement? The serial number dates the gun to 1886. The serialization book has it listed as "PT," so I assumed an O grade, but looking at the various pictures and descriptions of the two grades, I was confused (not an unusual state for me).
