Brian, the asking price for this gun suggests it is an upgrade however the barrels are marked Acme Steel” which were only supplied for AH and BH grades. According to Dean, if the gun was originally a VH and was upgraded to a AH by engraving, the engraver would have had to remove the “Vulcan Steel” inscription on the barrel and changed the inscription to “Acme Steel”. Would seeing what is stamped on the water table assist in determining the original grade or could those stampings also be altered?
