Wonderful gun Craig. Those case colors look very Remington to me. But the gun is pre Remington by a bit.

They are cyanide case colors and were most likely redone by either Remington or Del Grego.

Look for Remington repair codes on the barrel flats.

Thanks Craig

Craig, when you are able to see the gun again (presuming you photographed the gun yourself) look on the barrel flats for the possibility of Remington repair codes.

Dean, what I see in the pic's there's no Rem code marks. Just wanted to confirm my thoughts and learn on the way.
Thanks, Craig

Not a bad looking gun if the price is right.
