Phil I have to agree with you the Flint Hills have a beauty and grace all of their own.
The grade letter should be stamped on the water table adjacent to the serial number. The serial number that you listed would make this a very early DS (Durston Special). If the gun has cocking indicators protruding from the sideplates it is probably an H or even a G grade.
If you have a day that you don't mind doing some traveling Buck Hamlin, on of the finest Lefever smiths around, lives in Pevely, Missouri. He is always ready to talk about Lefevers.
