The Serialization book lists it as a Trojan and Mearl indicates that the research letter also lists it as a Trojan. The question then is whether or not the frame was reshaped to resemble a B grade frame and engraved in a B style or just left as a Trojan style frame. I just doubt that someone would return a Trojan back to the factory for added engraving and fancier wood. I guess if the engraving looks like factory work, it could have been done by Runge.

Hopefully Mearl will contact me soon and we'll have a better idea what it is.

More to the point, I seriously doubt the factory would have even accepted an order to upgrade a Trojan in order to make it "look like a B grade". I question the logic, or thought process behind trying to make a Trojan frame into a graded frame when there are so many V grade guns available, where it already has the physical dimensions of everything on up to whatever you want to make it into.
