In the Dick Washburn example shown above, he related that he did it to demonstrate his abilities. That gun still has the non dolls head rib extension which is received into a slot in the action frame. Its not unusual that engravers take on a Trojan to showcase their talents, but certainly trying to do the frame sculpting, bolster ribs, and complex engraving is a difficult task made more difficult unless a V grade is used.

But I suppose we could say that the Washburn gun is an A-1 Special Trojan and the Mace gun is a B grade Trojan ! Now where do I find that in the Parker Serialization and Identification Book.......

Mearl, Chuck Bishop knows his Parkers and taking him up on his offer could be enlightening.

Mearl,

I replied to your e-mail this morning. I just tried your number and it dumped me into your voice mail. E-mail and message left to you has my cell #.

Chuck
