Parker VH VRS PT Grade
 
I look in the serialization Book
I noticed that under grades they list PT grades and VH grades
What would you say the difference between the 2 grades are?
Thanks for any help

A PT hammerless is a Grade 1 while a VH is a Grade 0. Level of engraving, barrel steel and checkering determine the visible difference between the two.

Ok lets talk about the barrels between the 2 grades
If I have a VH grade at least it says VH grade on the gun and I have Vulcan Steel Barrels
Yet the Serialization book says Pt grade and Twist barrels
Can someone tell me what I have?
Thanks for any help

A very few VH guns had Twist Steel barrels but the vast majority had fluid pressed Vulcan Steel barrels. I know of one VH that was made with Damascus barrels.

What does yours have for barrel steel and what is the serial number? What is the grade letter stamp on the water table with the serial number?
