Have you asked Chuck to check your serial number again this could simply be a case where the 6 should be a 8 .

I have not, but I find that unlikely considering the weight of the gun and the barrel length in the letter are both not matching. And it's by nearly a half pound. Griffin and Howe no longer employ the gentleman who used to do the digging through the records of V&L and have no current plans to renew that role. A Mystery it shall remain, which is fine. It's not an invincible, just your regular VHE


As a separate curiosity, is it possible to learn something about a set of barrels original length by comparing the weight today vs the weight noted on the water table?
