No disrespect intended, but it seemed a bit unusual to me that Ms. Astor would purchase a V Grade Parker. The Astor family could buy the whole Parker company with pocket change. Perhaps her intent was to "trade up"?

But it 's all speculation unless you do the research...

What do you mean by "trade up"?

Invincible,AAH,AH,BH,CH,DH,GH are all higher grades. More engraving, nicer wood.
A VH is a relatively "plain Jane" to the higher grades of finish and craftsmanship.
Go to the home page and view "Parker grades".
Mike, are you sure it is a VHE? It looks to me like extractors, not ejectors.
