Thx, Bob. I don't think a VH has more. You can just see it better because it doesn't get lost in the engraving. The CCH on guns with less engraving also looks glossy because the polishing if the frame comes through. Frames were highly polished before engraving. The more engraving the more the glossy appearance was removed.
I once saw a circa 1920 BHE that was almost brand new. It had all of its CCH but it appeared dull except for the few areas that were not engraved where it appeared glossy.
