I noticed something that made me wonder about it's originality.
If you look at the closeup picture of the left side of the receiver and enlarge it a bit you can see that the zig zag engraving just below the lower edge has been reengraved over an earlier attempt. Now this is a lower grade gun and a lesser skilled engraver may have done this border engraving but I would think a better attempt of removing the errant engraving would have been attempted. Maybe it just slipped through inspection or the inspector just decided to let it slide since it is just a VH. What are your thoughts?
