Yeah. Hard to tell without photos.
But you seem to accurately describe typical V/P checkering. I cannot imagine it would have been done on special request since there is really no point and the average person would not have really known the difference ahead of time. IF it is original and untouched, i would just call it a factory error.

Factory mistake ?
Do you think it might be reflected in a letter ? It appears that there is info available on the serial number . I might have it checked out. Thanks for the input.

By all means, order a letter and support the organization, but I do not expect that there will be any info on the checkering in it.

The “bow tie” or “two point” forend checkering pattern is that of a Grade 1 or Grade 0. Grade 2 guns had the “three point” checkering pattern.
That said, where’s the mullered borders on the wrist checkering?....not to mention that it also should be a three point pattern at the head of the checkering. Something’s fishy here........ .
