I have observed cases where higher grade guns had Vulcan barrels added as extra sets and their forend wood matches the grade of the barrels.
My 1889 vintage GH-Grade that was fitted with a set of Vulcan Steel barrels in the 1918 to 26 time frame is just the opposite. The number 2 forearm is pure GH-Grade in both checkering and engraving.
