I question if the cyanide colors were done by Del Grego. The wood I would say definitely was. But the cyanide doesn’t look like Del Grego to me.

I think I have all the answers I was looking for. Thank you everyone who replied and to those who reached out to discuss this gun further. I now know that all I should have posted was a photo of the stock shield. A picture really is worth a thousand words.

What a surprise that is. I guess my opinion that it is a Del Grego gun was correct. My friend, Shelly's guns appear out of nowhere. Jim Hall will remember when what seemed like dozens of Shelly's guns were on display for sale at the NRA collectors show many years ago. That was the right time to pick up an underpriced Gitman gun. In all the years I was around Shelly Gitman, he never shot one of his Del Grego guns. He did not hunt, and he only shot proper clay target competition guns when he shot clays. He had gorgeous graded Superposed Brownings and other heavy competition guns, not Parkers.

Why wouldn’t he shoot Parkers? I don’t have any of his guns but I have one of his shirts.

Upgraded and "return to mint" Parkers were his life's project. It had nothing to do with shooting. He shot the guns designed in modern times for the game at hand. He was an International trapshooter. It was a religion for him. He built a fifteen trap International bunker for his use and the use of his friends. He participated in the Macabee games in Europe in the International Trap events. Some of his Jewish friends and shooting companions were also shooting friends of mine. He was personal friends with Larry Del Grego Sr. Larry not only built his guns, but he assisted in the procurement of the guns. One day in Tennessee, at an invitational shoot, at lunch in a horse barn, Shelly shared with Kevin McCormack and me, the story and history of the Invincibles. I was astounded that he finally let it all out. It was just Shelly, Kevin, and me. Shelly mentioned names that I knew, people that lived just a few miles from me, were in gun clubs that I had attended, that had owned the Invincibles. Shelly told us how he had become the owner of the Invincibles. It was a bit of information that has never been revealed to the Parker "importanati".

Not to derail this thread but Shelly also had a DHE 20 in a Trap configuration that was done by Del Grego. 32" VR gun with double triggers. The owner provided me with some not so great cell phone pictures. This one and the subject gun of this thread together would make a nice pair.
