Shooter Trojan

[Blue Collar]

I have identified a Trojan S/N 213xxx I know very little about it except that it is a 20ga, 28"?? barrels and the forend is not original. While I understand the collectability of this gun is diminished, what is the consensus of 1) shooting it the way it is if the price is right (I understand everyone will want photos to make a determination but that is not possible). 2) finding a forend that will match? not s/n match but will look appropriate for period and usage.

While I understand that these are questions that are going to produce subjective responses I would like to understand the implications of what I am suggesting. Good idea or bad.

I am new to this forum so give it to me straight. I also realize my question drives toward shootabilty rather than collectability. If this is an inappropriate question or not within the guidelines, moderators please delete and I will look elsewhere for guidance.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
