I will elaborate on my original statement and also on what others have said.

Obviously how close the restoration work is to factory finishes is the major factor in calling something a "quality restoration" and trying to assign a value to it.

In my opinion, due to DelGrego's use of such things as striped cyanide colors, white line recoil pads and beaded checkering borders puts them far away from a close to factory appearance. You can spot a Delgrego restored gun very easily. The name may carry some clout with it, but the proof is in the pudding.

Here is an example of Turnbull's case colors. It was colored prior to me buying the gun. It's not on par with original colors, but it's not bad.
