Very nice Gun Scott with nice original patina!
Not that there are not errors. There are in anything out there, as long as a person is behind it. But, Since there not a grade number or letter system in place at that time, all there was to determine grade (or should I say QUALITY) of the gun was the barrel steel and the price paid.
Since the same barrel steel was used on different qualities, there-in lies the confusion. After Decarbonated Steel was phased out, Grades 0,1 and some 2's would have some variation of Twist steel, but many kinds of Twist steel were used early on.
