Dean, Look at photo # 4, the motif on stock and fore end are identical, I have put the gun away will try to get more photos later, If you look where the slide pin used to go in the fore end you can see it has been replaced with a solid shield " silver, also the fore end tip is silver with the same motif, the fore end also has what I believe to be the checkerer or the stock makers name G Beecher, I have several Parkers with his name on the fore end, I believe that Parker did the work because the fit is perfect, I do know the fore end is original to the gun, you are right is is not like the trojan at all, it has a very neat spring assembly that holds the lever out, who did that I also do not know but would think the design was ahead of its time, Maybe chuck can shed some light on this mystery, Gary
