John the book has been wrong many times, matter of fact I just picked up a forend latch that the book says is a V grade...it's either a B or A grade latch but the serial number in the book says it's a V. The serialization book is a guide there have been many mistakes in the book that people have found so use it as another tool but not the holy grail.

I have a VH forend and the numbers on the latch confirm it as being a VH but I'll let you decide for yourselves...
