purchased from the owners family

That’s lovely and next on my list. Well done!

Can you show a pic of the butt plate in question?

[Dean Romig]

Totally beautiful.

To find a utilitarian gun that old in that condition is just so rare!

I found a plain Jane 30" 11/2 frame VH like that. Was told the owner just thought they should have a gun in the house. Sat in a closet it's whole life.

And if you remember Edgar, I had that Grade-1 16 gauge T/A hammer gun that was deemed by expert collectors to be unfired.

John, is the guy in the picture your dad? Glad you decided on the original style Trojan buttplate on your restoration.

Lol, no. That’s a photo of Ernest Hemingway. Just framed it the other day and need to hang it on the wall.

I like that that gun a lot. I would love to find a 16 or 20 gauge Trojan or VH. Hope you got it for a good price.

i have a 16 ga vh on a 0 frame i hunt sharp tailed grouse and pheasants with it
the condition cosmetically is well used but the mechanics are 100%

That is nice! What is the LOP? I think standard was 14" on those. I might leave it as is, but a replacement(original) butt plate is possible.

The only Trojan I have is in 20ga. and it is wonderful!

Congratulations!

Quick Edit: And the early the rib extension!
