Which of Steve's DHE 20s are you referring to? He never pictures his Parker trigger guards, but we could see the rest of the gun. By the way, where do you live? That could help us to recommend an engraver.

The 11th photo shows the self "engraving." Thanks! |

OK, we see it. You don't need an engraver, just a good refinisher, like Brian Dudley.

Thank you for the advice! Does anyone have an opinion as to whether the refinish was by Del Grego? Seller doesn't know. Any general comments on condition or the price? If you do, and would rather PM me that's would be great. All replies will be kept confidential as I know this can be a sensitive subject.
As far as refinishing of the guard goes I think I'd have to send it off. I live in San Antonio and I don't think there's that many (if any) specialists here. |

Odd that there is no actual text describing the gun.
The refinish is nice overall. Odd that a Remington Parker would have the drop points of a Meriden Parker and it was obviously restocked by a good stocker but not one keyed-in to the subtle differences. We don't even know the serial number of the gun. I would think DelGrego or Turnbull but we may never know. DelGrego put a lot of checkered butts on restocks they did. IMO the price is in the higher limit of "fairly priced," I would recommend you get a research letter before you commit. .

I am not an expert by any means, but I just spent three years looking for a gun configured this way and learned a thing or two along the way. If the case coloring was redone, and I suspect it was, it does not look like DelGrego's process to me.
I agree with Dean: while it is a very nice gun overall, it is priced at the high end of fair value. |

That’s a great looking gun. Metal does not appear to be DelGregos work imho. $10,000.00 is a lot of money to pay out for that gun. I’d you’re looking for a shooter you can spend half as much. If you’re looking for a collectible I don’t think this is the one. But, if you can’t live without it, well that’s a different story.
