Dogs Head Butt Plate on Trojan

[B. Dudley]

YES.

See attached photo showing both the number 0 and number 1 sized plates. Meriden on top. Remington on bottom. The sizes are for different gauges.

That's neat Brian. Since the OP's Trojan was a 20, the butt must have been an 0 size, so have you ever seen a dead bird Remington plate in an 0 size, or can we assume it came from Galazan?

The trojan used a completely different plate. The simple serrated style. They only offered 2 sizes of plates. The 12g and the 16/20g size. They were not numbered.

The number 1 size DHBP is a little larger than the 16/20g size trojan plate. Thus explaining why the border on the OP’s plate is almost gone.
