Default Got the Trojan Home...

Picked it up out of layaway today. At best poor pictures. I'm sure it's been refinished, but it seems to have been well done.













I hadn't even wiped it down when I took these pictures. It looks even better with the fingerprints and such off it. I hope to figure out a place to take better pictures soon.

Yes bad pics but I don't think the gun has been refinished, yes somebody tried to polish the receiver, but varnish on the stock and the blue on the barrels look original. Looks to me like a really nice gun

Really? That's interesting. Somewhere or other I got the impression the receiver should have been casehardened and the rest of the gun looked so good I figured it HAD to have been refinished.

hard to tell from the pictures, but if the stock has been refinished, they made it look very original. otherwise, it looks honest. nice Trojan. now you need to find a 20o ga trojan

The frame was case hardened and is. The colors are just worn off. The surface hardening is still there though.

It looks to me like your frame may not be silver from simple wear. Someone likely worked it over and polished the colors off.

I would suspect the barrels and surely the trigger guard have been reblued on your gun. And maybe the stock refinished or finish freshened up at one time.
