Looks like it says "L" over "DG" which could be Lawrence Del Grego?

If anyone working on any of my guns intended to permanently mark it in such a manner he had better ask my permission beforehand... to which my reply would be “PERMISSION NOT GRANTED!”

I had a 12 gauge VH which I was told was Del Grego restored. It had that same mark on the barrel flat (same placement, also). My buddy has the gun now.

Turnbull has marked some guns. Del Grego's website doesn't mention marking. Anyone know?

I do not know about Delgrego marks. But the subject stamp may be evidence of it happening at one time. I thought Delgrego marks were tiger striped case coloring and sharp comb flutes. So why bother putting your initials on it when your work can be spotted a mile away.

About 20 years ago I had Doug Turnbull do an upgrade for me on an 0 frame 16ga from a VHE to an AHE that was correct in every way, he marked the water table “ Reproduction by Turnbull”. No discount was offered or even mentioned.

Years ago (1990s?), when I was considering a restoration by Turnbull, I bought a video tape from them which demonstrated the whole process of metal preparation and finishing. At that time they were offering a 10% discount to customers who would allow a small DT to be stamped on the gun.
