Very interesting thread! Just a question because I don't know... were 20 gauges ever built on a 1 frame?

In some cases, where a heavier gun was needed, Yes.

And to clarify... in this thread, the buttplate numbers are the buttplate numbers, not the frame size. On many earlier 20g gun with 0 frame, the number 1 sized buttplate was used.

Not the Trojans... 12's were built on the 2-frame... 16's were built on the 1-frame... and 20's were built on the 0-frame.

There was some 1 frame 12g. Trojans built on special order. With Twist barrels too. But these an oddity.

Right - That's the order that was shipped to the Fae East I believe.
