Pigeon Grade, as used in firearms, specifically shotguns, is a term for a higher level of fit and finish - both mechanically and appearance wise for a limited number of guns. Pigeon grade guns are more valuable than regular production guns or Sporting guns. Recently some manufacturers have further subdivided into categories such as Silver Pigeon, Gold Pigeon, Onyx, etc. Pigeon grade guns will carry, often, more engraving, better wood (though there are again levels of wood, the best being "exhibition" wood), gold inlay, wood carving, etc. Some, at least a pre-war Winchester Model 12, will have an engraved pigeon near the serial number. Wood grade is not indicated by any markings, but by visualization. A greatly valuable combo would be an unfired pigeon grade gun with exhibition grade wood.

I bought a trap model with a similar serial number here in Australia in 1979 and a skeet model also with a very similar number in 1985. XTR is a Winchester thing for a higher grade model and pigeon grade suggests the stock is set for live bird shooting it also is used loosely for down the line trap where it is shot double barrel is here and the UK and probably other places as well. Well both of mine certainly didn't set the safety when the action was opened.
