Pawn Shop 20..After and Before..

[Jerry VanHorn]

This gun came from a pawn shop in Arizona..1918..Rib extension..Double ivory..26"..F/IM...Very nice screws..and a trace of color.Beaver tail was done very nicely. Safety was inoperable..and had a broken spring. The grip cap was an LC Smith..and the pad was the bane of fine shotguns..a WHITE LINE !. Both the grip cap and the pad had a clear 1/4" plexiglass spacer..Only GOD knows why ? With a new Silvers 3/4"pad..LOP is just over 14".. I fit a Parker grip cap. Chris Dawe did his magic fixing a missing sliver on the forend, and I did the stock and forend with Timberluxe. I think It came out quite a nice 20..(It's a Trojan )

I've seen those guns, with that crazy stuff added to the pads. I always think "70's" in my mind when I see that sort of thing. Nice job bringing it back from the brink.
