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?

I have observed that most are bordered, and some even have the backside “cut-away”. Do you mean that the checkering at the back of the pistol grip shouldnt have the mullered border? I have three Trojans, all have a “border” on the butt side of the pistol grip.

Someone on the forum a while back indicated that a mullered border on that rear line is an indication of a restock. So, I have been using that as a quick guide to originality. That wisdom is now questionable although I have a V and P that lack the mullered border on that rear line and I believe them both to be original. So, now I am confused. As often is the case I learn how little I know.

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!
