Eric,
Be advised the seller is well known for using a torch to revive case colors. Those torch jobs soften the surface of the metal rather than hardening it as the case coloring is intended to do. I would not buy a butt plate from that butcher!
And yes, the price is nearly double what it should be. Do yourself a favor and join the PGCA. Then you can see the fine guns in the for sale section that are posted by our members for our members. I think there are a couple fairly priced VH guns on there now.
As a PGCA member you will also have a contact list and fine that there are several active members in your area. If requested, they may be able to help you find what the gun(s) that you seek.
Good Luck,
Mark
