  These aren't the barrels that she left the factory with the first time. She must have made a second trip.

That is certainly a combination of grades. DH-grade receiver and forearm, GH-grade butt stock and VH-grade barrels. Looks like it got the post-1910 bolt and bolt plate when the number 2 set of barrels were added. Any clue on the original barrels? The number 2 forearm? Hopefully there will be some great information in a letter.

Could this gun be the earliest DH with Vulcan barrels? Maybe the barrels are original to the gun and it went back to the factory for repair and the new style bolt was installed. I hope you get a letter.
I didn't realize when I first wrote my response above that the gun was in the serialization book and originally was shipped with 30" Damascus barrels. |

Those Vulcan barrels are marked as a number 2 set on the forearm loop, but the forearm is likely the original as it isn't marked with a 2. The sixteen Vul3 guns in the records are scattered from 82275 to 88725.

Likely a second barrel set added at a later date (post 1910 as Craig suggests). And the original barrels are long gone.

Likewise, it's unlikely a grade 3 gun, irrespective of barrel steel would have originally been fitted with a stock with grade 2 checkering, no drop points, and a small shield.
I have seen DHBP fitted to grade 3, but that gun still had the oval German silver initial plate. |
