OK Edgar you win, sorry to state my opinion. I surrender, I have learned my lesson. I am only an unsophisticated apple knocker from upstate NY.

The condition of your gun is what some would call a "rough weather hunter". One you can take out and get good service out of and not worry about getting it messed up.

Case coloring this gun is the LAST concern you should have. Other matters like barrel blue and wood condition always trump frame condition in my book when it comes to what should and shouldnt be restored in a priority list standpoint.

The only way this gun should be considered being re-colored is if a FULL restorstion was being done. And even then, the amount of surface prep to the frame would be great because of the damage already caused by active rust.

Shoot it and enjoy.
After considering all advice here is a picture of the Trojan cleaned up. I still intend to work on the barrel blue a bit.

It looks like it's cleaning up fairly well. I'm pretty much in Brian's camp on this one.

Clean it up the best you can & enjoy it for what it is.

I have a small covey of guns I have bought over the years, covered in rust, and abused and neglected in other ways. Most are in wonderful condition today and only a couple ever saw the inside of a gunsmith's shop.

Jack, do you color case harden all guns the same or do you use different formulas (crucible packings) for the various makes?

Not really. They either look right or they dont.
