Asa Kelley and I bought a VH DelGrego #2 frame 12 gauge with a letter detailing what was done to the gun and price charged for the complete redo of the whole gun. It was beautiful, cost to us $ 1100. Asa ended up with the gun and traded it to TON 80 in Atlanta and he sold it for $2800 as fast as he put it up for sale. The gun look new and all screws and the wood were perfect, so every one came out well due to the efforts of the DelGrego family.

As Steven Cobb tells Asa and I , no one complains about a Purdy gun being sent back to Purdy for a little touch up but in the US the touch ups completely trash the value to some , to others they are bargains.

At least Larry DelGrego hasn't ruined a hundred thousand guns by hacking on the barrels like the highly regarded Brits have. Del Grego projects are headed for collector status if the subject gun was in good condition before restoration.
