The Twist Steel barrels and the straight line engraving indicate to me a Grade 0.
The fact that it is checkered may indicate to some that it is a Grade 1... then there's the vine engraving around the barrel breeches so it very well could be a Grade 1.
Jury's still out on that one.
It's a nice one for your first dip into the Parker pool.
