The "0" or zero grade was a grade designation used by the company itself. The V, or VH grade was used in catalog descriptions. The letter designations were the only ones known by the customer base. Your hammerless gun is what is known as a "VH" unless it has ejectors, in which case it would be referred to as a "VHE". The "V" or "VH" designation is all you will see stamped on the gun. The "E" is not normally stamped on the gun until the Remington era, post 1934. Yes, your gun is what is known in the factory as a zero grade, but the rest of us know it as a "VH".
