No, the Trojan is not a Parker with a grade designation - it is a Parker Trojan.
A PH or a VH are hammerless guns. That's what the H represents - yours is not a hammerless gun.
The V you refer to is the mark of an inspector or a worker, not a designation of anything about the gun.
The Serialization book is the "Parker Gun Identification and Serialization" and usually sells for about $39 but you may be able to find it for less on the ABE Books website.
