Early VH question

[B. Dudley]

Well it sounds like you have a winner there at that price! Good find.

Grade of wood has ways been an interesting topic. Sometimes lower grade guns can be found with nicer wood than the grade above it would normally have. However, it has been generally mentioned that later VH grades had much nicer wood than earlier ones, especially when it came to meriden made guns under Remington ownership. The belief is that Remington was just using up stock and putting whatever they wanted on lower grades without as much thought to it. Some later VH guns have stunning wood.
