Wow!! A $200 Trojan. Were you holding a loaded DHE on the seller when you got that price?

No one bid on it on GB, I was shocked as well. I put down 205.00 , I was sure I was going to be outbid, I've seen far worse go twice sometimes three times as much. So I guess 240 with shipping, but still surprised! It's not a prom queen, but I'll shoot the hell out of it! It also gives me some room for any corrections or repairs that need to be done. I was thinking of doing something with the Parker Pages with it as I work on it and get it where it needs to be.

Jostam also made recoil pads in that time frame. They are still available.

I wouldn't replace either of those pads. The one on my DHE was much worse. The one on the 28 actually looks pretty good. Small width and no ventilation. But I agree Dean, why anyone would order a 28 bore DHE with a pad is well beyond my ability to comprehend.

From the little research I've done, it seems that the heart shaped Hawkins pad was not patented until 1919 in the U.S. Cant imagine any earlier in England, if at all. I had one on a 1902 CHE that was clearly old, not a new reproduction, and I presumed was added sometime after 1919. I have attached the page from the patent in pdf.

The Jostam pad was circa 1915 if I'm not mistaken.

Pre-WWI pads included the D&W, Funkes, Huntley Shock Absorber (Omaha) and "Perkins" Recoil Pads (both advertised starting in 1915), Tryon #6, and the American Silver pad - sometimes called Grieb and after about 1915 Goodrich; possibly by the Ajax-Grieb Rubber Co.

Congrats on the $200 Trojan. I won’t tell you what I paid for my VH, but it was less than your Trojan, and shoots like a dream😁

Nothing wrong with Trojans. You got a great buy and have plenty of margin to invest in any restoration. I started out at age 12 shooting a 16 ga vh that was my grandfathers. Shot a lot of grouse and woodcock with it. I picked up a worn but still tight 20 ga Trojan for one of my grandsons to use when he is old enough. He is 11 now and has one more year to go. I had plenty of cost margin so i had Brad Bachelder restore it. Couldn't have a better double to start the young lad out with
