I think you are right. I feel very lucky to have one. My former smith friend who helped me out is getting some tanks to do some rust bluing. He brought a Parker absolutely back to life including manufacturing a new stock, the checkering job is flawless. I'm a lucky guy to have him as a freind who simply loves old doubles. He keeps telling me I need an LC Smith next.
I'm thinking, maybe, of shaping her up in time. He called earlier today to tell me he cleand out the inards. They were thick with an almost varnish like substance he said. All better now!
He got me on to older American guns afrer doing a trigger job on my CZ Bobwhite. He said it is a decent gun, but not as nice as the older American guns. Boy was he right! I found my Trojan within a week of our conversation. $550 OTD!
