Yeah, that's one reason I bought it (sucker that I am for Walnut). The wood and the pretty nice engraving are what makes me believe this is a relatively high grade. I have never seen one in person, but I have seen a dozen or so in pictures. I have only seen 1 that I thought was a higher grade, with somewhat more engraving. It was, I believe, reported to be marked as a Model 86, but that may not be correct. I will hopefully look for a model number tomorrow.
