Dogs Head Butt Plate on Trojan

[Thomas Baumgardner]

I took the dogs head plate off of my Trojan and it is a #1. Spoke with Larry DelGrego who confirmed they restored the Trojan but can not provide any more information. Assume dogs head butt plate was on shotgun when it came to the shop so it was kept on the gun.

I have a VH 20 that has a non matching GH Grade stock. It is ironic when it is not correct but is yet an improvement over what was there

Thomas - the DHBP with bird on your Trojan was originally intended for a larger buttstock than your Trojan currently has. The butt plate was shaped down in size to fit your buttstock.

Thanks to everyone for the additional information on the butt plate. I have no plans to change the DHB. Thats the way the shotgun came when I purcahsed it and I like it. It also shoots very well for quail hunting. I guess thats what is important. Tom

True,

But know that if you wanted the proper buttplate put onto it, it would not be anything super involved. And an investment of around $100.

There was an order placed for a number of V grade Parkers which I believe were sent to Japan and they were shipped with Twist Steel barrels. Whether they were ordered with these particular barrels is unclear to me. The answer to that question may be found in the records we have... Chuck might know or maybe someone else who has made it his business to learn this information. I honestly don't remember reading about these particular VH guns in The Parker Story. If someone else knows, they may chime in here.
