Sam, have you figured out whether you have a Trojan or V grade yet?
Your first post led me to believe you thought you had a Trojan, but you referenced a stamped 'V' which would be a VH grade with Vulcan steel barrels. What does the top rib say?

When the Trojan was introduced, several manufacturing steps were eliminated, reducing it's cost to produce. Whether rightly or not, the Trojan has been deemed by many as an inferior gun to the V grade, when in actual fact, it's overall quality was every bit as good, just lacking certain features. As higher grades escalated in selling price, the here to for Trojan began to attract more attention, firstly because of affordability. I think you will find that only the people into Parkers as an investment still think of Trojans that way.
