So this CH gun is cyanide colored. What traits in the finish leads you to that conclusion? Maybe we are confusing Ohio Case Color with Classic Guns, John Gillette's company. John is actively in business as far as I know. OOPS, Wild Skies, I was writing while you were pushing the send button. Great minds think alike.

Irregardless of the case colors and the fact it's not checkered with the mullered borders for the asking price I'd of bought just because of the wood!I'm NOT a 12ga guy but would have bought that gun.

Look at the wood to metal fit in the pictures on the shotgunworld.com link. Maybe the stockmaker will come forward and identify himself.

If a person feels that the case colors are too bright, they can be toned down. Some folks like them bright. On the other hand, a couple of us spent a few hours one evening with Flitz and a polishing cloth on a buddy's gun and that reduced them a lot.

Its a gun you will enjoy showing off and shooting. Good luck with it.

I sent photos to Classic Guns but I have not heard back yet. I would just like to know what it looked like before the restoration. The engraving is still sharp and the wood too metal fit is good.

Here are other photos:

I think that may be Claro walnut like was used in the Repros. Any wood identification experts?

I would say that it is an outstanding piece of quarter sawn Juglans Regia, aka English walnut.

I agree with Mr Skies, I'm not convinced its a cyanide job. Attached is a DelGrego (letter, box, invoice, etc.) cyanide gun photo which shows the classic "Tiger Strip" pattern.

Classic Guns thinks it is their case colors. I sent them photos earlier today. I purchased the gun earlier in the week and have not yet received it.

Dave Fuller, I think you are right. Its more likely bright charcoal color case.
