Thanks, was curious because it appears to be a Damascus VH.. The Parker Story says a certain number were made around 1917, which this dates to.

If there are records available ,I would order a Letter , The Parker Story lists the serial#'s for Damascus Barreled V Grades on Page 258 ! It also mentions there is a missing stock book in the serial # Range after the 10 Guns mentioned so there is no way of knowing how many may have been built !

I’m not personally interested, was just curious because I wasn’t aware they had made any VH grades with Damascus. I haven’t asked the seller, so might just be a set of Damascus barrels that were fitted later.

Don't bother requesting a letter, the records won't help.
