Checkering Question

[Dean Romig]

Parker VH forend checkering - pay no attention to the engraving on the latch.
Gough ordered six VH Parkers that he would engrave specially for some of his dearest friends.

I would not have expected to see that tip on the same gun as that latch. In fact, I think it's unlikely that tip left the factory on a VH, as it has the 'lip'.

Aw nuts!!

I should have said "Pay no attention to the engraving on the latch or the shaping and engraving of the tip" as Gough ordered six VH Parkers to engrave and give to his dearest friends.

Would he have replaced the tip with one he had already done, or engraved the guns as they were ordered, with smooth tip? it would be interesting to see the SNs on the tip and latch.
