12 ga 28 inch Trojan

Gary, you can message Brian about it, I believe he has stated that trojans should have the MB on the rear line but higher grades should not. If I am understanding him correctly.

Perhaps Brian can explain further.

The Trojan pattern should have a full mullered border.
Other grades will have no mullered border on the lower rear section of the grip.

It would be jumping to extremes to say that on the applicable grades, the border in said area would be indication of a full restock. Just incorrect recut of the checkering.

Brian,
As someone who is always learning, could you please tell me what a mullered border means?

Here is an example of an expertly executed mullered border on a CH straight grip.

It is the perfect concave chiseled groove between two lines around the border of the checkering.

Dean,
Thank you very much. Now I understand.

A forum search will also yield more reaults than you are wanting to go through I am sure.

beautiful trojan, very similar to the one I picked up here in Pa. about 20 yrs. ago from an older gentleman who was going into a extended care facility. The one big difference is that yours has more case coloring than mine. Nice find!
