Delgrego Restock?
Looked at a nice 16 gauge GH the other day. Looks like restored case colors and wood. Letter says it originally had a pistol grip stock but now has a straight grip. In 2008 the owner sent pictures to Larry and inquired if he did the restoration work. Larry answered that it looked like his work but could not say for certain. I asked the seller if he could check under the tang to see if a serial number was present in the wood. He got back to me with a picture and there is the serial number in the wood with "LDG" stamped above it. Question. Does this mean that Delgrego restocked the gun? If so, why when asked about the work in 2008 why did Larry not suggest checking under the tang? Or was it restocked by Parker and Larry added his initials when he refinished the gun?
I have attempted to upload the picture but the site is being finicky again and not allowing it. I will try again later to post the picture.
