John,
Suspicions confirmed. Your gun IS NOT a V19, rather, it is a V21. A Darne gun's grade can often be spotted from a distance, if you know what to look for.

Do enjoy it to the extent you can. As I grow older, I also find recoil to be more problematic. I also know I would likely shoot much better if I just used the same gun all the time, instead of switching around between a group of them.

But, what fun would that be?

Best,
Ted
