Of course the engraving was up to standards - after all, Robert Runge was chief engraver for Remington to the end of Parker production, having started with Parker Bros. in Meriden and was one of the few who moved to Ilion when Remington mover the Parker operation there. His work is coveted and very distinguishable.

"Engraving was "taken up"
Does this mean the worn engraving was 'picked up' or 'freshened up'? These are the terms I most often see used. .

That’s easy for you to say Nephew. You are one of the best stock men I’ve seen in the last forty plus years

Edgar my point was that of the 2 upgraded Parkers I have examined attributed to Delgrego I found both guns to be excellent examples of the grades they were intended to represent. I believe the other upgrade I saw by DelGrego was an AHE 20 but that was decades ago. While I haven't always found a Delgrego refinished gun appealing to me, I also have never seen one that lacks the craftsmanship in the wood inletting and checkering that 231570 does. In addition the stock finish sucks and the stock blank looks like English walnut to me.

The only complaint I have ever had, and everytime I see an example of, renew my feeling, is that Delgrego's outsourced cyanide case hardening colors were, in most case, simply garish. |

Could one of our gunsmiths explain what kind of trigger we're looking at in picture number 14 of 24? It appears that the trigger itself does not go through the usual slot in the trigger plate, but through some rectangular piece, that in turn, goes through the trigger plate.
Looking at photo #2, it appears the front trigger sits lower, almost to the point of touching the guard. Not one I recall ever seeing. |
