Default 16 gauge

This gun caught my eye a little. Wondering if anyone has seen it at WLM or maybe it was brought to the Southern. Comments?
Thanks

Does he have proof it was redone by DelGrego?

The trigger guard does not look redone.

I have owned several DelGrego guns and that looks different.

Looks like a Turnbull restoration to me. Nice wood too.

Those colors look more like DelGrego's to my eyes than Turnbull's.

The stock work looks way too glossy to my eyes to be DelGrego. It has a plastic-y look to it.

Greg, I would tend to agree with you on the stock finish but It's also possible that who ever had this gun restored, may have wanted a higher gloss finish and Del Grego's would do that for any customer if that's what the customer wanted. When I took my 16 VH to DelGrego's and sat down with Babe (about 7 years ago), I was asked what type of finish did I want on the stock.

The colors don't look like Turnbull or DelGrego to me.

I agree with Dave. The colors don't look like it was done by Del Greco or Turnbull.
