Attached are examples of what Brian is speaking of. Note the high flat top on the first 2 guns, both B grades with factory VR's. The 3rd picture is that of what is believed to be a factory conversion of a SR to a VR. Note the concave area and how the dolls head has been sculpted out to blend it in.

Odd to me that in terms of 12 gauge production the VH with Vulcan steel tubes outnumbers the DH Titanic's by some 8 - 1 roughly yet there are substantially more 34" DH guns recorded, nearly 22% more than the VH ??

I know where there is a 34 DHE restored by Batchelder's thats a nice gun with a straight grip F/F for less than half the cost of this gun. I have several factory vent rib guns and they don't look like this. I have had 30 inch guns and a 32 incher choked IC/F from the factory. Long barrels should equal tight chokes.
