Does anybody know if Delgreco marked guns that passed through their restoration process, particularly Parker Bros.?

Or are records available through them or any other source of these same reworked shotguns?

A question best posed on the Parker Gun Collectors Association forum.

"Babe" DelGrego died in 2022, with his son Larry passing away in 2024.

They don't track by serial number, they track by date completed & customer name. Larry explained this to me several years ago. Gets confusing if a customer has had multiple guns pass though there.

I have a 1915 16ga VH that I bought at auction, the shipping box was postmarked June of 1985 from their location. The person it was sent to turned out to be a semi regular customer. FWIW Larry identified the gun as theirs via the case color. I believe they now send them to Turnbull for CC work.

"They" don't send them anywhere for case colors. The business is closed.

Guess I Should have mentioned that .........

I shoot ducks with one. I think they did a nice job. Gun is nice and tight. Mine is marked Del Greggo on the bottom of an orange pad.

Restored guns are great as shooters.

Is there anybody here familiar with Delgreco work that would let me privately send them a photo of one I'm looking at?
The case colors were redone by somebody in the early 70's, and look right to me as possibly being a Delgreco restoration, but it is just my hunch.
PM me your prefered email if you'd like to see a few medium size photos.

Delgreco or Del Greggo don't come up on my internet searches. Sorry, can't help.

You might have better luck with internet searches if you spelled their name correctly. Sometimes that can be critical when using search engines.
