Default Custom Engraved Trojan

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=264588590

Interesting custom engraving on this Trojan. I think they did a nice job for what it is. Would like to see the action colored or polished instead of blued. Some of the scroll work actually looks true to Parker form in some spots.

Nice scroll work, Birds are sort of strange but a nice piece. A good shooter

I really like the birds, especially the rear duck. Reminds me of a duck that has spent too much time posing for a "hanging game" artist.

The birds on the side are nice, but they bother me just a tad in regards to their placement in relation to the action screws. The treatment on the bottom of the receiver is beautiful though!

The barrel wedge engraving kinda reminds me of Fox's.

I also just noticed what looks like a shot shield on both the buttstock AND the forend. Odd...

Looks as if the wood and checkering, chokes, barrel length, chamber length, stock LOP, serial number, etc. are not important to the seller.
