A Parker Christmas
A couple weeks ago a DH advertised as an unfired restoration by DelGregos was offered for sale. I bought the gun and included with it was a letter from October 14, 1969 signed by Larry DelGrego and addressed to the then-owner of the DH. The gun was as advertised: it was unfired and it appeared to have never been put together. No marks on the breechface at all; however, it has marks on it now. I have been shooting it and it is a wonderful gun. The letter itself is an interesting bit of history by a scion of our little world of the Parker gun. It would appear that a new stock was fit and the old skeleton butt was restored. The original stock is out there somewhere, possibly. If anyone has the capped pistol gripped stock for #163414 I'd like to hear from you.
