A couple months ago, I bought a VH from my brother-in-law. He was told that it was Del Grego refinished. It has a stamped mark on the right barrel flat (just to the right of the unstruck weight marks). It is about a 5/16" circle with an L overtop a D G inside of it. I never heard anyone mention this mark and was wondering if it is a mark which was used by the Del Grego shop at any point in time. As to the gun, all the metal prep is beautifully done. All screws perfect and timed properly, wood finish is very nicely done. Barrel blue is great, but it has the tiger striped case colors (very vivid).
I tend to stick with original guns, but when this one was offered, I jumped on it. A bit snazzy, maybe, but when the colors wear off, the metal condition will still be quite nice.
