I had read that a quantity of them were sent to Japan to fill an order.

Interesting that I read 18,664 Trojans with Trojan Steel barrels are identified as J

And 48 Trojans with Plain Twist barrels are identified as PX

But I don't see any identified as XT. Is that information found in The Parker Story ?

Default Trojan Twist

Also interesting that it is a 1 frame, when the standard 12 ga frame is a two. 6 lb., 15 oz. - a light weight Trojan with a heavy price given the condition.

Parker 12 gauge guns on the 1-frame are not at all unusual but almost unheard of on a Trojan 12.
Obviously the one(s) with Twist barrels utilized the 1-frame Trojan frame intended for use with 16 gauge Trojan Steel barrels.

There are a couple or more tens out there too, on #2 frames. I have the serial numbers in my files but good luck locating them. Oh, sorry, I see that Drew already mentioned the tens. Thanks, Drew.
