It's a gorgeous gun regardless! I sure don't have one with colors like that. Affordable too. If it's recolored it looks like they didn't warp the floorplate as some do.

Thats not the only GH with VH checkering. Ser# 143623, a lettered 2bbl set also has the VH checkering on the grip and both forarms.

Gordon, is there anything in the letter about the checkering?

Dean; Nothing in letter about checkering. Was ordered by E,K, Tryon Co. Both bbls 30" and both weigh the same. One mod and full and one cyl and mod.
