In my opinion it had been “upgraded”.

The engraving itself does not appear completely up to snuff in quality. And i see in a few areas where i may detect remnants of the V grade walked border.

Also, the patent mark is roll stamped. And typically on higher grade guns, the date was hand engraved, not rolled. So, the roll die marked VH latch was engraved around the original roll stamp.
