Look at the wood to metal fit in the pictures on the shotgunworld.com link. Maybe the stockmaker will come forward and identify himself.

If a person feels that the case colors are too bright, they can be toned down. Some folks like them bright. On the other hand, a couple of us spent a few hours one evening with Flitz and a polishing cloth on a buddy's gun and that reduced them a lot.
Its a gun you will enjoy showing off and shooting. Good luck with it. |

I sent photos to Classic Guns but I have not heard back yet. I would just like to know what it looked like before the restoration. The engraving is still sharp and the wood too metal fit is good.
Here are other photos: |

I think that may be Claro walnut like was used in the Repros. Any wood identification experts?

I would say that it is an outstanding piece of quarter sawn Juglans Regia, aka English walnut.

I agree with Mr Skies, I'm not convinced its a cyanide job. Attached is a DelGrego (letter, box, invoice, etc.) cyanide gun photo which shows the classic "Tiger Strip" pattern.

Classic Guns thinks it is their case colors. I sent them photos earlier today. I purchased the gun earlier in the week and have not yet received it.

Dave Fuller, I think you are right. Its more likely bright charcoal color case.
