Roger,
The gun should be examined by someone like Tom Archer, Buck Hamlin, Jim S. or Frank F. (to name only a few) ....
Never believe that the records are 100 % correct as to grade !!! Does it help the value of a high end gun ... no doubt, but I have a .410 that letters as a 20 Field, an A2 and A3 that letter as Pigeon grades .... and there is no doubt these guns are misgraded in the records.
For now we can only guess as to why this has occurred but it did happen.
There are things that are hard to "fake" and best not discussed in an open forum ...
