I like your gun a lot! That’s a nicely done upgrade of a VH. I have pictures of another VH upgrade that is so similar in the execution of the engraving it may have been done by the same hand.
Very nice and you’ll be proud to shoot birds with it and show it to your friends. .

The wood is very attractive and not out of the ordinary for a later VH. The wood is original to the gun. The engraving is not. Just the graver walk (zig-zag borders) are original to the VH. Everything else is an embellishment, added at a later time by someone in order to try and dress the gun up, or something.

It’s not common at all. .

Welcome to the PGCA Stefan. Nice gun you have there, really nice wood. Here's one that had a lot of engraving added at a later date with the intention of it being an upgrade. You can do a little searching on the forum and I feel certain you will find several examples.

It is not typical.

This is the one I mentioned earlier with similar engraving. Very likely to have been engraved by the same person.
