For whatever it's worth, I like the work Del Grego did for me. Am I a purist? Certainly not, but he brought new life into a pair of old, worn guns (this Wallflower Trojan and an '01 VH 12) so they can face the next 100 years of service.

Jon, Can you show a photo of the colors on your VH 12, please ? I don't think all Del Grego colors are done the same and your two show that.

Sure. The colors on the VH are more subdued than the Trojan. Hope you can see that in the pictures.

So are the colors on the VH 12, cyanide or not? They don't seem to have the striping, so often seen with cyanide colors. But not quite the same as bone case colors either.

You got me? Perhaps someone else can tell, although the pics aren't the greatest.
