This is a very interesting gun considering the fact that 88220 is thought to be the first Grade O (V) grade hammerless gun made. Yes we need pictures please.

Ed, yours is probably the earliest VH grade gun to surface, an interesting find.

Pictures of VH 88234
All, please see the pics of this early VH. As noted the engraving is simple but more ornate (PH? style) than the pics I have seen of other VH guns. It appears to be in appx. 30-40% with no pitting and blueing remaining on the top and bottom of the barrels. The gun has been in the same family since great-granddad bought it.
Your comments are appreciated. |

very nice - I like the little dress up, and 88K is quite early.
the buggered screw slots could be cleaned up , and in the grand scheme of things, not all that bad - is the head of the stock a bit dark (some oil soaking) or is that just the pics? thanks for posting the pics I really like seeing one stay in a family
