Picture isn't the greatest, but it looks like a Trojan????

[Mike Koneski]

No, they look like upland hunters. This is what a Trojan looks like....

No Trojan in his collection shown in "Playboy", October 1962

Fore-end doesn’t look “Trojanesque” to me.

[Phil Yearout]

Probably a loaner :).

[Garry L Gordon]

Sure looks like a recessed hinge pin. But what do I know!

[Mike Koneski]

Probably a loaner :).

Robert Ruark liked accompaniment, he wasn’t a loner. :shock::rotf:

[Russell E. Cleary]

Looks to me like a Trojan.

Nevertheless, smart guy, discriminating man with taste: he's shooting "Old Reliable".
