I told Brad to strip and clean the frame, make a repair to the toe of the butt stock, re-case color the frame and re-blue the barrels if he thought appropriate. Got the Trojan back a number of months later and needless to say Brad's work was just outstanding. The gun fits me like a glove, and I probably shoot it more frequently than my other Parkers. At the Club, I continue to get raves about this gun from my friends and others. Entry level Parker or not, it's a great gun to shoot clays with and birds as well. Every time I pick this Trojan up I'm reminded of my conversations with Brad Bachelder and the highest regard for the quality of work he performed. May he rest in peace and may the Trojan he restored bring joy and fun for many years to come.

Allen, I sure miss Brad, too.

An A-1 Special Trojan.

I think I remember that Trojan A-1 Special. It was engraved by the "missing engraver". I kind of like it.
