Thanks.
If I can boil your comment down to simpler terms, you think

the math indicates those particles are almost all dust.
But with that much dust being around in those orbital paths
of 1898-1919 trails, however some meteors could be produced by the earlier trails of the comet, down to 1763 trail, which is the oldest computed trail, and even earlier,
that there is a small probability that there may be a few larger meteors in that cloud.

What are the chances of some of them being large enough to strike the ground, and cause some real damage ?

My guess is ~ nobody knows for certain.

I've seen several reports talking about this comet being older or having made enough passes that much of the smaller particles have been blown away by the solar wind. If true, the remaining particles should be larger than a 'new' comet's average dust particle size?

Sure, but it seems like the big ones are not associated with meteor showers produced by comet trails. Plus they're very rare, so the money's on the scoffers side.

These people are under continual disquietudes, never enjoying a minutes peace of mind; and their disturbances proceed from causes which very little affect the rest of mortals. Their apprehensions arise from several changes they dread in the celestial bodies: for instance, that the earth, by the continual approaches of the sun towards it, must, in course of time, be absorbed, or swallowed up; that the face of the sun, will, by degrees, be encrusted with its own effluvia, and give no more light to the world; that the earth very narrowly escaped a brush from the tail of the last comet, which would have infallibly reduced it to ashes; and that the next, which they have calculated for one-and-thirty years hence, will probably destroy us.
