Wonder if your "know-it-all" dealer is related to the azzholer I recently contacted on GI- regarding a nice later production Parker VH 16 gauge- the ad stated "refinished by Larry Del Grego-unfired since"-- so in my query, I asked him if he had the documents and receipts from DelGrego in Ilion. He replied like this: "No, but an older gentleman that knows a lot about Parkers told me that it looked like Del Grego's workmanship"> Sorry, dude, but that is false advertising in my book. I won't name this schmuck, because I am sure that any serious Parkeristo would demand the same verification. Caveat Emperor!!
