Depends on when made. I have a pristine VHE from the 223xxx era that looks like Trojan checking and no tit on the butt plate. A beatuful gun with nice dimensions; but, what was Parker doing in the mid '20s?

IMHO I believe VH checkering is usually finer than any Trojan ever was on all I have seen. Your friend would be off to get a VH of the era in hand and duplicate before making the final decision.

The ones I have had any dealing with were 18or 20 lpi. on a V grade,but if you are going to recut checkering on any brand of the old doubles,I suggest you invest in a Dembart checkering gage. Also, the checkering tools were hand made when these guns were built so the space can vary a little when the tools were resharpened or new ones made. They weren't as precise as the new machine made cutters. Sometimes I have had to use the closest spacing I could find, cut it lightly with a single line spacer and then wallow it in to the old line with a "V" tool or checkering file. You also have the issue of 60 or 90 degree cutter angles. A lot of the lower grade guns with flat or non pointed up diamonds were cut with a 60degree too. Happy scratching. Lee!

Here are some pics of 1&1/2 frame VHE # 222382 and 2 frame Trojan #179723. Both have 30" bbls. and the VHE is 1oz heavier. The Trojan with the pad has a little longer pull, but both fit nicely. I haven't laid a ruler in the checking, but they look very close in spacing.

FWIW, My 1903 16ga VH, 1204XX, Measures 18 lpi with a Dem-Bart gauge.
