Brian,
The two serial numbers listed in the Parker Story are 213811 and 234428. According to the Parker Serialization and ID book 231811 is a 12 gauge 28" Trojan and 234428 is a 16 gauge 30" Trojan. The two 28 gauge Trojans may be don't exist. The 30" 16 Gauge Trojan is one rare bird in itself.

Interesting, supposedly L.C.Smith built one 28 gauge gun for a lady in the Smith family. It remains a mystery to find also or if it ever existed.

I think this gun surfaced last year. It was being offered on the LC Smith forum with no price. I think someone was just trying to determine what it might be worth.

I could be wrong but I believe they had an affixed date for the highest bidder on the Smith or possibly taking offers until a certain date ??? Figured it was going to be way above my wallet size so I haven't paid any attention to be honest !
