Then the poor sould who bought the piece then thinks he has the real deal and passes on the story to others. Fakery is not good. I guess I shouldn't say this either, but I don't like the fact that Delgrego reworked Parkers and stamped skeet in and skeet out on the barrels. There are a lot of them out there. I am suspect of any Parker skeet gun that was worked on by the Delgrego's. It may be a true factory skeet gun but chances are that it isn't.
So, that rattly old sawed off Belgian made hammer gun at the gun show with the Wells Fargo logo engraved in the buttstock might be a fake?
The seller seemed so sincere.
