Dallas Arms Collectors gun show report
 

I usually don't see but a couple of Parkers at this show but they are here in force today! I've seen about a fifth of the show so far and have observed seven already. They range from grade one hammer gun to DHE. Four D grades total,
all 12 ga. One is quite nice 12ga with ejectors and beaver tail, 30 inch bbls and about twenty percent case color for $2750. Also a tempting deal on a PH 12ga with 30 inch twist barrels for $800 but someone tried to polish the trigger plate screws while the gun was assembled ....ugly. Also saw a DelGrego upgrade of a VH to DH grade for around $2500. Hope to see more later.

I passed up a 20 ga. Del Grego VH to GH upgrade with added BTFE and cut barrels with twin ivories added (fake skeet gun) for $2400 a few years ago and it sold on an internet site about a year later for almost $7K. There is a following for Del Grego upgrades.

Shot some sporting clays this morning at the Ilion club. Larry Del Grego was out in his yard at his shop- It's on the way to the club at the base of Barrenger Road. Nice to know that he is only ten miles away from my place.
