The Del Grego - Runge high-grade upgrades, especially the .410s and 28 gauge guns are highly collectible and represent what would have been done in the last years of Remington's production of such guns.... because they were done by two of the last original Remington craftsmen... they can almost be called "original" Parkers for that very reason. To the eye, they are every bit as wonderful as the guns they were made to represent. I know of a Del Grego/Runge .410 BHE upgrade that will be coming to the auction market soon and it will garner some serious bidding!
