I'm hoping to see the modest scroll engraving that the PH (grade-1) guns are tastefully embellished with rather than the VVVVVVVVV graver-walk engraving of the VH guns. This would certainly tell a story we haven't heard yet...

V grades are covered in V's. Can't miss them.

Like I said, I'm new to this...What is meant by "straight stock"? I'll get on the photos today and get them posted later. Thanks everyone!

In general, my gun looks just like the one you sent the link to. Mine has more engraving. Photos will be posted later today.

That is definitely a Grade 1 (PH) with replacement barrels. Look where the radius of the barrel breech doesn't quite conform to the radius of the frame... that little gap tells me that those barrels were probably not original to the gun. Parker Bros. would not likely have let a gun out the door with that tiny imperfection. Nonetheless, that is a very nice gun and I'd be proud to own it!
The barrels have been refinished as well. Indicator is the vent hole drilled in the bottom rib. |

Nice gun. Also notice the fit of the doll's head.
