Default Finally picked up my new Trojan

Serial number says it is a 1926 vintage 12 gauge. 28" barrels. Choked F/IM I believe.

Barrels are overload proof marked, weigh in at 4lb. There is some decent CC on the water table and under the forearm. checkering is in decent condition from what I can tell. Barrels are still blue but are faded a little. Buttplate is there.

Little chip gone at the toe. Bores are clean. Action is a little patina, gun has some honest wood knocks from hunting.

Screws look good, and for the price I am very happy with it. Need to oil it and remove some of the copious amounts of black grease a former owner put on the forearm piece and where the forearm and the hinge connect.

Very happy with this and the price I got it for.
