You have made the observation that no Grade 0 guns appear in the Serialization book but that there are surviving records…
When the books were being transcribed there are ranges where guns of Grade 2, 1, 0 and OV were omitted. The only guns appearing in the Serialization within those ranges are Grade 3 and higher. The actual reason for this omission is still a puzzle and there are several ranges of serial numbers within which this is evident… but in many cases these records exist and are available for a research letter.
