OK; what is it?
 
I was looking at range bags the other day and checked the Boyt site. One of the photos on their home page shows a guy sliding a sxs out of a case. The gun has an exposed hinge pin, but it's not a Parker or early Sterlingworth. I've seen some early Stevens guns with an exposed pin; what others are there? So what is it?

It is a refinished Trojan with cyanide colors.

Second Dean on Trojan

Yeah, I guess I see the contour of the action now that I look closer; at first blush I thought the action was more square all the way down. Thanks y'all.

Maybe the marketing department of some of these outdoor mechandisers could be a little more creative in their choice of props.

It's probably somebody's favorite gun... might even be a member. I've hunted with Trojans since '61 and enjoyed them a whole lot... especially the 16's and 20's.

Maybe the subliminal message is that you don't need to be a snob to enjoy a double.

OK, but seeing a high condition AHE 28 gauge being pulled out of that case would be more satisfying. Advertising is a wonderful thing. In 1961, when I was 15 years old, I was in the gun department at Abercrombie and Fitch during a photo shoot. The shoot had nothing to do with guns, but naked models couldn't just wander around any part of the store except the seventh floor. It was a very pleasant morning for me and didn't seem to affect the models.

I agree with the AHE 28 being nicer to look at than naked models (these days... like the dog that chases the car - what can he do with it if he catches it?) but like I said, that Trojan is probably somebody's favorite gun.

Hmmmm, let's see. Naked models or an AHE 28. What difference does it make, I can't afford either.

Dean Romig 02-17-2017 06:43 PM

Yeah, but at least you can use (shoot) an AHE 28.... :whistle:
