When buying a gun it is almost always best to have it in hand for a full inspection.

Thank you again for your sage advice. The gentleman I spoke with (Mr. Kirby Hoyt) told me the gun was on a #2 frame, the bores were bright but there were a few places of very light frosting. I'm beginning to lean toward an original gun that may not be as "pretty" and away from this one. There are two VH's on Gunbroker, owned by the same person, that are within driving distance of me. I may take a road trip this weekend and come home with a VH. Thank you again and wish me luck!
