About 8 years or more ago I had DG restore my grandfathers 16 ga VH. New wood, re-case etc. A total restoration. After receiving it back from DG and shooting it, I noticed some gray substance oozing out between the frame and buttstock. Also, base plate screws weren't timed and hadn't been replaced as the original one's were buggered up. Also base plate was not flush seated in the frame. Sent the gun back to DG. Gun came back with base plate flush, new timed screws but the heads of the screws had a copper luster to them. Called DG and was told to rub them with an eraser. Go figure. Checkering is good on buttstock but border is not period correct for this 1924 Parker. Gray matter still oozes a bit. Colors on base plate have worn off with very little use. I use Brad Bachelder now and very satisfied.
