The Trojan did not have a grade classification number.
The VH was the grade 0 The PH was the grade 1 The GH was the grade 2 The DH was the grade 3 …and so on. .

Exactly what I have. Mine even has the same chip on the buttplate. Still learning the guns I have and thanks for the quick tutorial and pics. Very much appreciated!

Trojans are great guns…and the good Mr Romig is a great source of information.

The barrels appear new and it locks up very tightly. Surface rust on the barrels and receiver but no pitting that I can find yet. I am anxious to disassemble and se the inside condition. Still undecided on how to proceed on the rust removal, but will post pics when able. Cheers.

Use Big45 Frontier pads for the rust with Ballistol or Hoppe’s
Do not use abrasives. .

Order a fore end tool from Dean, it is a little ingenious item to take off the fore end on a Trojan or any tough fore end without damaging the wood or scratching the barrels. One of his hidden talents.

There is something really cool about finding a nice trojan in excellent original condition. Those guns were typically hunted hard, abused, etc. So, finding a 100 yr old trojan that wasn't, is very cool IMHO.
