I haven't had the heart to shoot this one yet.

What would a restoration of this level cost today?

I can appreciate your relunctance to use and most likely mar the gun in some way. They are meant to be enjoyed, use it carefully and accept it will not stay perfect.

Not sure what Lawrence is getting for a full Trojan restoration these days but Doug Turnbull's webpage says $3600+ for full metal and wood restoration of a VH. Estimate $2500-$3000 for a Trojan would be my guess.

Jared - It's been awhile since I've been hunting with you, but I'm sure whatever gun you take, whether it's this gun or any other gun, the grouse are safe.

Would it be safe to say that the checkering might be a bit too pointed up for it to be considered correct for the Trojan grade? Don't get me wrong, It looks great, just commenting.

Not only do the cyanide colors look like Del Grego's work as well as the wood and checkering but the reblue of the barrels was done in the classic Remington style too - something Del Grego is known for too - not silky shiny but instead a silky frosted look. Do you see what I'm refering to? The first picture shows it best.

Wow; wish my old Trojan looked like that. Nice!

Nice gun...now get her out in the field and get some "character" on her

That's pretty sound advice coming from a "character" like C.O.B.
