Yes but David, your gun doesn't look dramatically different. A dog rather than a sunburst scroll. Don't you think the above example is quite a different precedent? I would consider it more embellished than a Grade 2 but also lacking any style cues from other Smith engraving? As you stated yours looks like A1 dogs, an obvious "upgrade" or special request within the established "hunter arms framework".
