Thanks Bill - I guess there were a few eccentrics in those days, just as there are today. There's just no accounting for some people's tastes.
Did anybody notice if the subject gun has the gold grip cap insert or the gold oval in the toe line?
So the level of wood, checkering, barrels, and frame sculpting make this gun a Grade 7... nothing else, because the internals do not differ from those of a VH but for a bit of polishing.
It's a very nice gun and a unique AA but to my taste it sure is missing something.
