DelGrego value

[Bill Murphy]

Obviously, LDG did not replace the wood or initiate a new checkering pattern. If he did anything to the wood, he sharpened the incorrect checkering and refinished the wood without drawing the oil, an expensive fix that will need to be refixed. I doubt that Del Grego did the wood, even though Lawrence or Babe said it was their work. It's still a nice gun.

Well Larry had the gun in his shop in March so he could inspect it first hand. You would think he could Identify his work. But then again lots of questions on this one. Even has the black Del Grego recoil pad. I was going to put it on Gunbroker but will hold off for now. Too many issues. I appreciate all of the feedback.

Everyone is assuming the gun had the correct stock/forarm wood when it went to DelGrego's. Perhaps the wood was replaced befor the rest of the gun was sent for restoration.
