VH serial # vs Rem code

[Dean Romig]

I never suggested it was a rebarreled P. What I did suggest was the possobility of ordering a P (Grade 1) with the brand new fluid steel "Vulcan Steel" barrels, hence the stamp on the water table. I'm only suggesting this as a possibility in the earliest stage of fluid steel barreled Parkers. Soon thereafter the Vulcan Steel barreled Parker got its own designation and became the VH and took its place as the Grade-0 without the engraving embellishment of the Grade 1.

All pure speculation on my part.
