Default Maine shipped Parker Trojan

This Parker came out of the Cabela’s in Scarborough, Maine and the letter shows it shipped in February 1919 to G R Hunnewell Feed Company in Auburn, Maine. This shotgun might actually have spent nearly its first 105 years in Maine. Who knows…

I love my 20 Trojan that Brad Bachelder fully restored and brought back from the dead.

I looked at that gun ....I go to that store regularly. I know I am in the minority but I prefer the less "fancy" more utilitarian grades. the more engraved guns always remind me of my grandmas silverware. love my VH.
