The only things I see that could compromise an otherwise nice old VH is what looks like rust "bubbles" along the rib and some oil soaked wood.

Dean,
Thanks for the comments. I'll bring the gun to a gunsmith and have the "bubbles" checked out as well as the bores.

It looks like dried oil and crud like what is around the hinge pin to me.

Bill,
Thanks for the reply. I hope it turns out to be more than a wall hanger.

Have the barrel wall thickness checked out for safety, then forget the rib and stock and shoot it till you drop (because it won't). We saw a 32" version of your gun at The Old Baltimore Show last weekend for $1100 and ran out of reasons to own it for $900. Shows you what age, retirement, fine wine and good cigars gets you!
