[Bob Hayes]

I need a value on a 2grade hammergun,dam barrels 28" from factory.
Good case color on a 1# frame,dhbp
serial# 48280

[Jim DiSpagno]

Pictures please

[Bob Hayes]

Here are a few i have poor service here

[Dean Romig]

It's worth whatever price you have to pay to squire it... if you want it badly enough.

[Bill Murphy]

Are you looking to buy it, or do you own it? It appears to be in high or rather high condition. In that configuration, it would be a very popular gun.

[greg conomos]

I'd be interested to know the gauge, even.

[Steve Huffman]

The butt stock looks to of had some finish applied is the metal that shinny blue or is it just a flash from camera ?

[Steve Huffman]

book has it 12 ga. 28 inch barrels

[Bob Hayes]

Its a 12 ga gun that has really good case color.I was not sure if the gun was that rare in a 1 frame and 28" barrels from the factory.I would like the gun but not that crazy about hammer guns.
Problem is that shortly after a vh 20ga walked up.Its in rough shape but probably a good shooter at least.
There are a couple questions about it.It is stamped v grade but has a trojan buttstock(lined buttstock).Is that correct?Then it has a pull off forend I thought vh guns had hardware forends(metal release)?
Its been quite a day.
Icing on the cake picked up a fun gun stevens 311 410.

[Dave Suponski]

Great gun Bob. But "Not crazy about hammerguns?" Give it time ....give it time.....:rotf:

[Dean Romig]

It's very hard to confuse a Trojan with a VH.
Easiest identifier is to read the rib legend.
One says Trojan Steel and the other says Vulcan Steel.

[Bob Hayes]

I am looking at a receiver flat this is a trojan gun correct?

[Steve Huffman]

Does that have Parker Brothers engraved on the side ?

[Steve Huffman]

Looks to be a early Trojan

[Bob Hayes]

I thought so, guy has it listed as a vh and said it several times.Hard to ignore someone while looking a gun over.
Thanks again

[Bob Hayes]

I'll have to look gun over again in the morning and double check it all.I would swear it said vulcan on barrels with matching serial number.

[Steve Huffman]

Give us a picture of the side of the frame and the rib inscription and rib extension .

[Richard Flanders]

That hammer gun looks to be in pretty amazing condition if it's all original. A lot of folks here would be all over that cutie.

[Dean Romig]

OV is the stamped designation of the Trojan, regardless of what the barrels are marked. It could be a Trojan with Vulcan barrels fitted but if the forend is a snap-on fit then maybe the rib doesn't say Vulcan at all?

[Bob Hayes]

Right, I'll confirm it all tomorrow.

[greg conomos]

There should be a very distinct age difference in the gun that makes it easy to determine whether it is a Trojan or a Vulcan. The Trojans were of prominence over 1000 years ago, whereas the Vulcans come from at least 20 years in the future. Beam me up, Scotty!

[Dave Suponski]

Huh?

[Bob Hayes]

What about the ears?That should be a dead give away.

[Daryl Corona]

Huh?


Think Star Trek Dave.:eek:

[Dave Suponski]

Got it Daryl....Just a bit slow on the uptake.....:rolleyes:

[Mike Franzen]

Ha ha. I just got that

[Steve Huffman]

What did this gun turn out to be ?

[Bob Hayes]

It was a trojan 20ga.It was clear as a bell when I went back and looked the next day.
Still working on the grade 2 hammergun.
I'll post pictures later.Good shooter gun with potential.

[Dean Romig]

A good Trojan 20 is nothing to sneeze at. You'd do well to pick that one up too if the price is right.

[Bob Hayes]

I did pick it up its a nice little gun.

[Daryl Corona]

Sweet!

[Dean Romig]

That's a great little gun!

[Brian Hornacek]

I did not see the gun show location mentioned? Just wondering as you had a few good Parker options. Shows with Parkers can be few and far between.

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Looks to me like you should have bought that grade 2 hammer gun, looked to have really good condition left? Gary

[Rich Anderson]

So what's the story on the hammer gun???

[Bob Hayes]

The show was in south Florida,one of many here every week it seems these days.But as with most things you don't see any most of the time but when it rains it pours.I have come to realize a little bait does bring them to light.I have been showing one of the parkers I already have and individuals walking by will ask about mine or hopefully theirs.
The hammer gun I am passing on I really want to stick to my game plan as far as parkers go.But the gun is going up for sale here shortly.The owner is getting some good pictures together and he said I can offer it for sale if thats okay before he goes to gunbroker or another gun auction.
So let me know if there is anything special anyone needs to see.

[Mills Morrison]

Sticking to a game plan is hard. You should feel proud you have that will power.

[Bob Hayes]

Tell that to the stevens 311 410 I couldn't let walk away.The lord works in mysterious ways.
