I'm not sure it's quite that clear cut. I once owned a Parker PH 16ga. The gun had VH barrels, so obviously replacement--but serial numbered to the gun, so someone might not have caught the discrepancy. Similarly, in this case, the proofmarks make it clear that the barrels aren't original. But it's still a Woodward . . . albeit one with replaced barrels. Would it no longer be a Woodward if it had been restocked?
