Guns that were returned to the Parker Gun Works to be rebarreled were often replaced with VH or VHE barrels by the owner’s request because of the lower cost, regardless of what barrels the gun was made with. Keep in mind that the price of a new set of barrels was half the cost of the grade of the gun, soooo the VH or VHE barrels was the lowest priced option.
