An interesting engraved Trojan is the Steve Olin Trojan. I won't comment on it until someone posts pictures of it. They shouldn't be hard to locate on this great internet. I brought up old discussion of Olin's Trojan on the "General Discussion" subforum, pictures included. Enjoy.

Washburn's tapering of the front of the receiver is a touch that I haven't seen before. I like it a lot.

Nice photos. One of the points I was trying to make but perhaps needed clarification is that I was mainly referring to modern engravings on old guns. At the time these were engraved it was well and good and perfectly acceptable for animal figures to be on the primitive side.
Nowadays no engraver I know of, and I know a bunch of them, would ever cut an animal like they did back when these guns were new unless the customer specifically asked for it to be that way. This year at the FEGA show in Vegas a customer wanted just that very thing from one of the best engravers in North America. This man is used to making lifelike game scenes but the customer wanted it to look like it was cut by the factory, probably a Winchester as I recall. So, it does come up once in a while. I'd be proud to own any of those above. Pieces of our history, double barreled time machines of sorts. |

Can one of you educate me a little please? When I look at the photos of the original post I do see the Trojan marking on the rib. However, I was under the impression that the Trojan was only offered one way with the tell tale sharp angles at the forward lower ends of the frame and no rib extension or other frills.
This pictured gun has a rib extension and is rounded under the forward frame like all the higher grades and has those sculpted ridges on the fences. I thought Trojan was their field grade, no frills gun and all these features were part of higher grades. I'm new to Parkers so cut me some slack for my ignorance, just trying to learn here. |

Understand that this is a highly modified Trojan
Sculpted and engraved

The little rounded Trojan extension rib is not the same as the standard doll's head extension standard on higher grade hammerless Parkers. The rounded Trojan extension rib is characteristic of earlier models. The later models had no extension rib, nor did early exposed hammer Parkers.
