Very interesting thread! Just a question because I don't know... were 20 gauges ever built on a 1 frame?

The trojan used a completely different plate. The simple serrated style. They only offered 2 sizes of plates. The 12g and the 16/20g size. They were not numbered. The number 1 size DHBP is a little larger than the 16/20g size trojan plate. Thus explaining why the border on the OP’s plate is almost gone.

In some cases, where a heavier gun was needed, Yes. And to clarify... in this thread, the buttplate numbers are the buttplate numbers, not the frame size. On many earlier 20g gun with 0 frame, the number 1 sized buttplate was used.

Thank you, Brian! I was mistakenly assuming frame size correlated with butt plate size.

I took the dogs head plate off of my Trojan and it is a #1. Spoke with Larry DelGrego who confirmed they restored the Trojan but can not provide any more information. Assume dogs head butt plate was on shotgun when it came to the shop so it was kept on the gun.

I have a VH 20 that has a non matching GH Grade stock. It is ironic when it is not correct but is yet an improvement over what was there

Thomas - the DHBP with bird on your Trojan was originally intended for a larger buttstock than your Trojan currently has. The butt plate was shaped down in size to fit your buttstock.
