I had DelGrego fully restore a 16 VH about 8 yrs ago. New wood (they provided),case colors and re blue barrels. The case colors on the frame hardly lasted two seasons.

Dean, on further reflection and fresh coffee, I believe the 32 I picked up was a 3200 and the 32 I saw on the table might have been a Kriegoff instead. As the cobwebs ease I now remember seeing a DE Fox 20 upgrade offered for sale in a DGJ and thanks to members I have been made aware of a fine representation of a LeFever Optimus. My sheltered life is now over and another member knows where that Optimus resides. Edgar my only point to you and this forum was that the process existed and while you found the cyanide case used by DelGrego garish I think most of our forum members would find flame coloring as offensive. I think the charge for this service was $45 in the early "70s.

At one time I had an upgraded BHE 28. I sold it and bought a wonderful upgraded AAHE 28 two barrel set. Upgrades or not both the Parker and Lefever are wonderful guns.

Regarding the AAHE 20 in this thread. Attached is what documentation that I have been able to put together to support this gun. The DelGrego note of 1997 and then Exhibit 6, the letter to Larry about the "restoration". I know that these are legitimate documents and they all involve the gentleman from who I acquired this AAHE. Thanks
