Default Engraving difference.
Has anyone else encountered a difference in an engraving from one side to the other? My 20 gauge VH has an engraving of a "flower?" that is about 1/4" difference in length shorter on the right side than the left. I'm wondering how such an obvious (to me anyway) mistake could have been made?

The work of humans, not machines. Yet another reason to love these old guns.

That plus it’s only a Grade-0
The Higher the grade the more exacting the engraving.

I own and shoot a GH. Now don't laugh at me, but I'm wondering. Is the main difference between my GH and high grade guns the quality of the engraving? Are the insides and barrels about the same?
