Scott:
My father's 1929-issue Trojan shares many features with your gun: 12 gauge; #2-frame; 30 inch barrels; IM/F. However, the stock and fore-end were pronounced by one dealer in vintage firearms be an early replacement.
I need to have some good photos taken of the gun, post some pictures, and ask if the wood is likely a replacement; and if so, could the job possibly have been done in the factory.
It is more interesting wood than is on his 16 or 12 gauge VH guns -- maybe I'm just seeing those beguiling growth rings.
Of his four Parkers, which included a 12 gauge 1 1/2-frame DHE, his preferred gun to hunt and shoot targets with was the Trojan that is so much like yours.
