VH serial # vs Rem code

[OH Osthaus]

very nice - I like the little dress up, and 88K is quite early.

the buggered screw slots could be cleaned up , and in the grand scheme of things, not all that bad -

is the head of the stock a bit dark (some oil soaking) or is that just the pics?

thanks for posting the pics

I really like seeing one stay in a family

This is really interesting. Apparently, this gun was made before the V Grade engraving pattern had been finalized and the P pattern was being used. We would have to see more early Vs to determine when the standard V engraving pattern was first used. This is the seventh V Grade made by Parker Brothers. We need to see more V Grades in this serial number block.

I agree Bill. Very interesting.
