A 32" Trojan is an extreme rarity. It would have been a special order gun and that is even more rare, being a Trojan.

I would suggest measuring the barrel length again and check the legend on the top rib to make sure is says "Trojan Steel".

"Tarnish" is one thing while rust and the associated pitting is quite another.
As long as the bores are clean and unblemished and without dents I would say it is probably good to shoot with appropriate loads.
I'm sure the chambers are probably 2 1/2-inch or 2 9/16-inch at most so don't just grab any box of 12 gauge Ammo off the shelf at Dick's or Walmart.
