Very nice looking find. Maybe it's just how the pictures look, but it may be cast for a south paw.

With the ejector taking out the last digit of the serial on the frame, I suspect it was returned for that change. It looks like a C grade to me. Did you look under the grip cap? On the cross bolt guns from that same circa 1900 era, a grade marking is found there on some guns.

Yes, it was liberated from the pawn shop. It is stamped C on the watertable.

Very nice catch! I think it's unusual to see the dog's head forearm escutcheon on a C grade, and the lack of wear on that, along with the high percentage of remaining case colors and finish indicate this one didn't see a lot of hard use.
The NRA has proven itself unreliable and corrupt.
Period.

The style of ejectors are correct for the gun, whether they were original or a send back is extremely hard to say, but my guess is original in spite of the SN cutoff.
Very nice looking gun incidentally.
