A full restoration on a Trojan will cost quite a bit more than the gun is worth. You might think about just getting the old girl cleaned up a bit and using it for it's intended purpose.

Hi Chip,
My pleasure! As well - I think Destry has a good point. For example, recently we bought a Trojan done by a very respected restoration house for $1350. We know the guy had close to $2000 in restoration fees. In any event, we sold that same Parker for less than he had into it - as the market at that time for restored Trojans wasn't that strong and is probably similar today.. Anyway - the cost of restoration will really depend on the amount of work you want done? But - for well known restoration firms - I'd say the $2000+/- is about what it would take (depending on a LOT of things!)... Since the wood is good by your description - maybe start with the barrels being reblackened - and then see if you still want the receiver, TG, forend parts, etc.. done afterward? So - if it's still on-face and tight -that could be an option? John |
