The most important thing about this side by side, besides that it is a Parker, is that it is a family firearm. They do not make any more of those.
Find someone in your family that deserves it. Ask. If you do not shoot, take it out to a local range and use some low loads (not hunting) and get to know this shotgun. Just ask the locals, most respect any Parker. If they do not, ask another person at the range. Make this sxs the last thing you sell. Patrick Butler |

I actually like the lines of a Trojan. I see them as having stand-alone eye-appeal in the Parker line, with their Spartan-ascetic departure from 19th Century Victorian design, which by 1912 was an honest reflection of the times and consistent with what one could expect would be a Parker interpretation of affordability, simplicity and spare elegance.
All that, and after having been driven by a pitiless industrial cost-savings motive. All of American manufacturing should be so lucky.

An observation... You need to get after that rust freckling on the barrels and frame... it Will get worse if not addressed.
Do NOT use a harsh abrasive. Instead, order online from Big45 their “Frontier Pad” which looks like a very abrasive pot scrubbing pad but Frontier Pad when used with Hoppe’s or a gun oil it will Not harm the blueing or case color but will definitely take care of the rust. But don’t use it on the wood! The Trojan 12 gauge is a very stout gun. As long as the barrels (bores) are in good shape it will likely be good to go for shooting but Don’t use magnum loads! .

Thank you all for the information and advice. I have been looking at this gun in the closet since I was about 10 and knew very little about it since about a week ago. It is great to hear how respected these Parkers are and that folks are still shooting them even over 100 years old. I have decided I will NOT sell it! I am excited to get the Frontier Pad and oil I had read about on the forum and that Mr. Romig also suggested here. I'll get it cleaned up and try it out. Thank you!
