Robin Hollow had a .410 AAHE about 10-15 years ago and we were hard pressed to determine if it was original or an upgrade - it was that nicely done in every respect.
Then we saw that same signature engraved around the leading edge of the floor plate and even that was so tiny we almost missed it. Such a gun becomes a true piece of Parker history in that two former Parker and Remington employees teamed up to create such works of art. Thanks Josh. .

Okay, it was an AHE... so much for an aging memory...

The ones that I have seen, I was not terribly impressed by the engraving.

They did several GH upgrades and one of my big regrets this year is not buying a GHE 20 that came up for sale.

I had the opportunity to buy a 20 ga. GHE Skeet gun upgrade with BTFE, checkered butt and twin ivories for $2400 several years ago. The barrels had been cut back to 26" and I sometimes regret that I didn't buy it... but I really had no reason to...

Some, or most, of the Del Grego converted skeet guns were originally longer barrel guns, cut to 26". It's not a criticism of the gun, it's just the way it was done in those days. A 26" skeet gun was more valuable than anything longer, or with tighter chokes. The 1998 PGCA Research Committee trip to Ilion ended all that foolishness. I have a small covey of Del Grego guns, including a nice SAA upgrade, and I love them all.
