BTFE Trojan
There was a "secure room" behind the shop, at the original Del Grego shop in Ilion. Three BTFE Trojans hung there which were the familie's own hunting guns. There was a story about them being damaged in an auto accident.
Del Grego had a branded pad at the time these guns were made, and a patent on the fore end attachement.
A person from Maine called himself "The Fox Shop" and had a triple table of gun parts at New England shows for years. He had DHBP's , Ilion, and Meriden grip caps through the 1990's,
Ther were three BTFE Trojans for sale at a VT show around 1995. None of these were made by Del Grego.
I think this gun should be looked at as what it is; a very high quality custom gun that is made with some Parker Trojan parts.
Best, Austin
