I have Kevin McCormack's brother, Tom, to thank for finding my "unengraved" CH grade. The three of us were at a VA gun show when Tom mentioned that he had seen a nice "Trojan" on a table at a fair price, $800 as I recall. I wandered over and saw the unengraved gun with skeleton butt on an English Walnut straight grip stock. The rib stamp was Acme Steel. Nice gun to say the least. At another VA show, I told Tom about a fairly nice Damascus GH on a table. He went over and paid about $225 for what turned out to be a GH with brown Parker Special Steel barrels. It turned out to be a scarce short barreled #1 frame. I guess that was my payback. Oh well, we're still friends.
