"Standard grade". And then, some previous owner had someone do some engraving on it.

Re: 722 engraved
I have a factory picture and engraving is the same. The serial # only tells the year it was made. I have been told by most gun dealers the engraving is factory but some say the wood is wrong but others tell me the wood was ordered that way and was more money for the better wood when the gun was bought.
Re: 722 engraved
I agree strongly with Wulfman. I recently had a M/722 "F" Grade. It looked nothing like yours. The grade is usually stamped after the serial # like 1234F. I don't see that on yours. The quality of the wood does not match the high engraving and is not Remington wood. The engraving is too deep, much like that done in Japan after the war years. I have never seen a flower petal on a factory floor plate. Please post a photo of that factory picture showing the identical engraving and I'll back away.
I know this isn't the info you want to see, but it's the way I see it...

I missed it the first time. Your serial # is stamped. It is engraved, not stamped on all high grade rifles above grade D that I have seen. Yours has F level engraving, but not factory work.

Looks like Remington factory wood to me....it's pinned in the exact same place as all other 721's and 722's. Engraving does not appear to be factory quality.
Re: 722 engraved
The photos I seen were on this site. Go to search and type in "share your factory checkered 721/722 photos" this was back in 2008. Some pictures have been removed but some are there. Any info IS WELCOME. Thanks for looking
Re: 722 engraved
There were just a couple of B & W photos left on the post you showed. It appears that it used to show rifles that the owners, not Remington said were factory engraved. One of the photos might have shown your rifle before you bought it???
My opinion remains that yours looks like a very nice rifle, but is not factory work. The wood is wrong. The engraving is too deep. The engraving does not match any factory pattern I have seen (floor plate). The serial number is stamped. No grade level is engraved on the rifle. There's just too many differences.

Re: 722 engraved
I agree with the other posts,
My opinion is this was a standard Remington 722A, which someone had engraved outside of the factory. The wood is wrong for a high grade rifle, but probably right for the standard grade.

I have a 722 in .222 also. It will help solve a "Digger" problem in Eastern Oregon this spring.
