grade 5 trojan?

Not suggesting that your gun is one of these, but theres a very interesting artical in The Shooting Sportsman Sept/ October 2011 issue titled " The man who made Parkers " This very skilled individual would take a lower grade gun re-engrave and dress up to a higer grade gun.
Even though they may not be origional I would love to own one.

Oh, wow, another reference to the "article". I absolutely love that article.

I would also like to see the pictures. I'm curious as to the shape of the frame, if it was reshaped or not.

Rich, the pics are in another thread. The chain engraving doesn't look anything like any Parker, and they don't match, action to barrels. Different style on the barrels, which is closer to correct, but not quite. The reshaping of the side of the action was pretty good, but not the bottom.

i got a copy of the book, very interesting article and perhaps he did do the gun, but i spoke with Larry Delgrego and I'm taking the 2 guns to him to look at he's certain runge didn't engrave it but said an apprentice or a very good engraver could duplicate the b grade engraving he said only a a1 can't be duplicated so hes going to look at them and tell me what he thinks and tell me what to sell them for if i ever want to sell them he said don't sell them online or i will surely be ripped off
