have been told, that from time to time parker would experiment with engraving patterns, as variations on a theme...
once had a dhe with that level of engraving, but somewhat different than the standard established d grade pattern...
was further told that this engraving work was done by trainees, under the watchful eye of experienced masters...
as for the vh gun above, it is an early vh, not necessarily assembled in 1899, but perhaps a few years eariier?
could it be a prototype frame, orginally submitted for evaluation for adoption for the new vh grade gun, circa 1895?
anomalies like this are always of interest...thanks for posting...
