Received my letter today
 

Thank you Chuck.

Seems my 'new' VHE 32" VR was completed in 1937, for the grand total of $171.35!

By Chucks research:
Capped pistol grip ✓
Trap model fore-end( beaver tail ) ✓
32" with VR ✓

However, the stock dimensions from Chuck do not jive. DAC 1⁷/⁸ DOH 2¹/⁴ by the letter but I measure 1⁹/¹⁶ and 1¹³/¹⁶. The stock does have the serial number stamped on the lower tang inlet. I know this could be a later stock, the fore-end color and figure match so maybe a new set of wood was done? The fore-end is not serialized.

Also, someone mentioned that this configuration might be 1 of 18 or 20 made, how can I find that info?
