WELCOME Your Grandpa's gun is a VH model 16 ga. that left the factory in 1909. It had a capped pistolgrip stock extractors and the barrels were 28" in length. This is a fine birdgun and a great piece of family history. Have the gun professionally cleaned and the safety fixed and don't do and thing else to it. IMHO , the condition of the gun tells a story and that is part of your family heritage. Brad Bachelder or central Michigan gunsmiths is where I'd send her for a tuneup'. Good luck and welcome aboard. You can order a letter from the PGCA and as to value, after the straightening out of some small issues, would be in the $1800 to $2400 range.
