DelGrego value

[Dean Romig]

I have never seen a Del Grego restored Parker that had the wrong checkering pattern for the grade - in this case, A GH gun with VH or PH forend checkering pattern and the checkering on the grip is not correct on the lower part of the grip below the end of the trigger guard tang where the correct Parker pattern was a radiused sweep back over the grip cap rather than the 90 degree angle this one takes. I'm having a hard time trying to convinve myself this gun was done by Del Grego.


And now I'm editing my post after having read the April 2010 letter you posted from Del Grego..... only to say that I guess The Del Grego's weren't as accurate with duplicating Parker checkering patterns as they ought to have been.
