Looks like a VH in average, but noticeably unmolested, shape (except for the cracked buttplate). You might want to have the bores checked for diameter. Assuming the bores are not significantly rusty or pitted or thinned, it should be a great gun on the trap range. Mild cleaning with Frontier pads on the rusty areas and oil based soap on the stock should make it look even better. Or, just ordinary handling and wipe downs over time. Enjoy.

Thank you, Mike!

Sweet find Ron.

It will take time but shooting, handling, and carry with a leather glove will clean up the receiver pretty good. I have a GH that looked similar to yours and it cleaned up nice.

Wipe down the wood and metal lightly with Ballistol and enjoy shooting it. You'll get a lot of questions and attention at the trap range.

What is the hole in the stock near the trigger guard?

Thanks, Frank! The hole is one of a pair (see photos below). I have no idea.
