Serial Number on Stock?
Given the unusual wood, one would expect the seller to remove the trigger guard and provide a picture of the serial number on the stock. They can be faked, but not that easy to do well. To me this is a more interesting gun if the numbers all match.
As to higher grade wood from Remington, my VH with fancy wood is within a couple of hundred digits of this gun, is from 1935 and mine is matching numbers and checked as would be expected for a Grade 4. It is stamped 4 on the stock where one would expect it on a C. So, I do believe Remington in 1935 offered the VH with upgraded wood. Some of the records are missing and if the numbers on this gun match, might be another indication that such things were occuring during 1935 even if it was not in the catalog as an option.
The oval on my gun was missing and was replaced with a Galazan oval and the pad on my gun was replaced with a new Silver.
