Oh, now I see it, engraved sideclips. By the way, another upgraded Trojan was done years ago by New York engraver Steve Olin. It is worth looking at if you ever get the opportunity. I have no idea who owns it now. A Trojan is a good basis for upgrading if you have a set of non ejector Parker barrels with a severely damaged doll's head to use. How about a 32" Damascus Trojan. If you have a rough set of Damascus barrels in either #1 or #2 frame size, cut off the doll's head and install them on a Trojan. What a great project gun that would make. Our late friend, Russ Bickel, installed Trojan barrels on a late hammer gun to make a very nice serious shooting gun. Now that Russ is gone, another Parker smith should take up his method of installing hammerless barrels on hammer guns. He claimed it was a piece of cake. Of course, that was Russ Bickel talking.
