I wouldn't worry too much about a shuttle for a later VF (VF2 or NVF) Their are tons of them out there since many Davis Sears machines (Minnesota's) used them. Boye #9 is new old stock shuttle. The boat shuttle like Janice got a great deal on is a lot tougher. This machine has the pie shaped tension disk on the top middle of the arm. Hoping your machine is in great shape with a good shuttle and all this information is not needed.
