"V3" coded B grade

That is neat find and definitively something different with that for-end. Whoever the gun was made for probably had some long arms. Maybe gun was made for one of those earlier 7 foot guys we were trying to identify that was discussed here about a few weeks ago with Sara. Now wouldn't that be incredible coincidence.

Oops strike that this gun would pre-date that time frame by about 50 years, but still.

Here is a picture just for giggles, the copper bead is on the opening lever not the frame. The debate about live bird guns is a another topic all together that has been discussed on here plenty. I'm just pointing out the signs because I find them very interesting.
