Hardly a wall hanger with a cracked forend. If it is glied together securely, then it is no more than a cosmetic issue at this point. Either way, a replacement forend could pe put on the gun without too much trouble.
The cyanide type coloring on the frame is typical of DelGregos work, but it is not a definite that they did refinish the gun. But they may have. The lack of the proper mullered borders on the checkeing is also a cue to that as there were times where they were not cutting the proper borders in guns that they worked on.
