I have in my possession a model 70 270 super grade, and it has an upside down A in grade, I need to know if I'm sitting on a gold mine?

I don't know anything about how these forums work so if someone needs pics, I don't know how to post them so I need help with that, I would love to show this thing on the forum so that I might be able to put a value on it. Thank you.

I don't think that it is original. The "super grade" was applied by a roll die not individual stamps.

It is original, would love to send you a pic, but i don't know how to do that, and I know they were applied with a roll die, that's what makes it so unique, it came out of the box like this, it has only been fired 4 times and is a pre 64, made in 1946 I believe. How do I send pics?

The roll die put on the entire inscription with one pass. It would be impossible to have an upside down A.
