My 1904 VH was well used, but rebarreled by Remington in the 30's and from the looks used very little after that.

Same serial # without a 2 on the forearm lug?

serial numbered with all the other marks including the frame size on the barrels, no forearm marks.

i believe replacement barrels not a second set.

Good point I did not think that through correctly. Replaced barrels would answer everything - thanks everyone - it's OK to order a research letter without owning a gun?

If I liked the gun, I would buy it without worrying about whether the barrels were reblued. In all cases, I would order a PGCA letter.
