The wood is very attractive and not out of the ordinary for a later VH. The wood is original to the gun. The engraving is not. Just the graver walk (zig-zag borders) are original to the VH. Everything else is an embellishment, added at a later time by someone in order to try and dress the gun up, or something.

Thanks! I assume it is not uncommon for the guns to have additional engraving added later?

It’s not common at all.

Welcome to the PGCA Stefan. Nice gun you have there, really nice wood. Here's one that had a lot of engraving added at a later date with the intention of it being an upgrade. You can do a little searching on the forum and I feel certain you will find several examples.
