Good catch, Dean. I have never seen English Walnut used on lower grade guns by Del Grego. But the colors look like it could have come from the Del Grego shop. Is there a through bolt in the front of the forearm? Del Grego usually insisted on the correct through bolt. This is a great looking restoration, at the right price. I wish the seller wasn't so proud of it.

Dean is right about the checkering style and Del Grego would inlet the trigger guard a bit better. I love this gun, regardless of its shortcomings, but the seller just doesn't have a clue about its value. It is a wonderful $1300 Trojan. However, the wood may make it sell for two grand.

You guys may be right about the grade of wood but the fluting on the nose of the comb sure looks to be Larry's work.
