The water table of the frame was not marked VHE, GHE etc. only the grade mark and an H to signify a hammerless gun.
You are correct to question the originality of the pachmayr pad as they were not available that far back. It appears your shotgun had some refinishing in the past also, so it is not a near mint original Parker. However, it was your grandfathers gun and that alone has value. Have it checked over by a competent gunsmith and if he finds it safe then you will have a classic small bore SxS shotgun to cherish and shoot. Congratulations!
