This would have been in the late 70's or early 80's. I don't remember if it was the #1 or #2 set. I have the #3 set which my Dad bought as a Remington Director

As I said, the #1 set was in the Archives in 1998. It may still be.

That latch looks a lot like the roller latch on my LC Smith . If you have John Houchins ' book on pages 236 and 407. Only the roller seems to be reverced

That safety "button" is the post-1917 design. Even well after 1917 the Trojans were still being manufactured with the pre-1917 button. I have a 1923 Trojan 16 ga. with the pre-1917 safety button yet it also has the rib extension which had been all but phased out on Trojans quite a lot earlier than mine.

The wood in the forend has some figure which would lead me to believe it is a late Remington gun. The wood on the Trojan skeet was very nice. I also suspect it was one of the expermential guns listed in TPS.

Brian, I just looked at my pictures of the Trojan Skeet we inspected in 1998. It is a real Skeet with single trigger, straight grip, fancy wood, and beavertail. Did you photograph the skeet gun as well as the Trojan in your post?

Yes. I did take some photos of the Trojan Skeet gun when I inspected the Trojan Prototype at Remington.
I handled and broke down the skeet gun. I will pull out the few photos I took and post them shortly.
