Yes, Edgar, the case colors on this one were what made me believe that it was done by their shop. Not my cup of tea but the gun feels good in hand. That mark intrigued me so I thought maybe someone might recognize it.
Dean, if you were talking about the finish applied to the wood, I'm with you. This one looks like it has a very thick coating of finish which looks passable on the forend but shows numerous safe bumps on the stock from previous owners. Not very durable.
Thanks for looking, Daryl. Sounds like a very nicely configured piece! I guess I am going to have to make a call to Mr. DelGrego and ask if they may have done this at one time or another. I had been thinking that this may have been a well known fact, of which, I was unaware.
On another note, I just had a flock of turkeys running past my window to hit my Crazy 8s (chicken scratch) that I put out about an hour ago! Three gobblers with 6" beards and about 9 or so young hens.
