Thanks Dean for the info on this Trojan
 
Picked this one up at a local Michigan Gun Show today, nice old shooter with tons of History in her bones. I will put some photos up here when I can. The chokes both measure close to Improved Modified with my drop in Brass gauge. Tested her out just with RST 1oz Spreaders and I just might be able to hit something with this one.
She has a few marks, but the only issue I might address is she is missing the small shield on the stock. Not sure where to get one of those, might even put my initials on so in another 120 years somebody will wonder who MDH was.
Thanks again Dean

A D2 is not a Trojan It would be a Grade 2 / GH

Right... D2 translates to Damascus barrels on a Grade 2. The H makes it a Hammerless gun.

Yes Dean I know , Michael was calling his gun Trojan

Dean Romig 02-22-2020 08:09 PM

Sorry... I didn’t see that. He must have edited his post before I read it.

I went back and looked, I think the auto fill picked that up from a previous question I had on a Trojan. I was pretty sure this was a GH but was worried about the barrel length etc. Will get photos up tomorrow.

Trying to post the photos of the GH I picked up at the local show Saturday, They had three Parkers at the show, two with Dealers and this one I bought from a show attendee. #2 Frame 30" Barrels.

A kind gentleman on this forum offered me a Shield and brads to install on my Parker and today the package arrived. See Photos attached. I was amazed at how well it fits into the inlet in the stock. Plan on getting initials engraved on it before permanent mounting. I sent a PM to the donor.

Nice old G. Just imagine the carries it took to smooth off all that checkering but great piece of wood on that stock. Enjoy it!
