Trojan Case Colors
3 Attachment(s)
I picked up this 1912 Trojan 20 ga at auction. It’s obviously been restored, including case colors. I assume these are of the cyanide variety. Does anyone recognize the work? Once I have this gun in hand, if it’s solid, it may be worth a more proper restore and in any case, is likely to become my primary upland gun. I’m a new Parker collector, only my third gun, but I can see how this can get addicting.

I could be mistaken, but I've always thought cyanide colors were striped.

Not necessarily.
But, I do beleive the colors are bone charcoal. I do not think that Cyanide colors will give you that sort of straw around the edges that is seen in some places. Barrels possibly look hot blued though. |
The colors are beautiful. I would spend my money on a new set of screws, well fitted.

That’s great to know. I didn’t realize when I bought it. I should have in hand on Wed and will post pics. Regarding the screws, where would I get a new set of screws?

That original Trojan is just beautiful.

Some very good examples of original high condition case colors on a Trojan.

The colors are indeed very similar. I can’t wait to evaluate it in person very soon. If the barrels were hot blued, I will have them rust blued. The wood may need attention as well.
