Your serial number is unfortunately not in the serialization book, but I would be confident in saying, that because many around yours are listed, it was omitted in the transcription from the records as many lower grades were. What I am finding interesting is that it appears to have damascus barrels, rather than Vulcan steel barrels one would expect to find on a VH. There are lots of records indicating 'special' orders for an alternative to the standard barrel, and I would suggest you get a PGCA letter on the gun as it may prove to have an interesting provenance. A little hint here, and a shameless plug for the PGCA;
If you join, you will spend less for your membership AND the letter, than if you order the letter as a non-member.
edit:Are all the serial numbers matching? What is the actual inscription on the top rib of the barrel
