The red ivory (Lyman) front bead was an option when this gun was made though I don’t know if the style shown was available at that time.
My 28 gauge VHE Skeet gun, I’m told, originally came with a red ivory front bead but as I understand it the previous owner didn’t like it so he replaced it with a white ivory bead. Wish I had the red one that came with the gun originally.
