First, let me say that I have read through this entire thread and I would like to personally thank each poster for spelling the Del Grego's name CORRECTLY!!! One thing that drives me crazy is seeing it spelled, 'del Greco', ;Delgrekko', 'El Grego', 'El Greco' (wasn't he a painter?).
As to the question of 99% plus Del Grego restored condition, Larry Sr. restored (including restocking) my very first Parker, the legendary #190737. The colors were wrong for the period (cyanide in 1921?), the beavertail likewise, etc., cut barrels and so on. If I had a chance to buy it back today I would, as it was my very first.
