1928 Trojan

[Dean Romig]

Those relief cuts look recent.

yes, The barrels say trojan steel. when I stripped it down to clean, all the numbers match.
I was wondering though, did Parker stamp the serial number on the barrel flats for the trojan?

[Dean Romig]

Remington Arms did in Ilion when they were producing Parkers.

This area just doesn't look 'right'.
Is the sn present on the side of the barrel lug? And, is it the same as the resst of the gun?

[Harry Schlott]

Hi Edgar,
The sn is on the flat of the barrels not the lug. There are a couple of things with this parker that I've been scratching my head over.
Thanks for your input.

[Harry Schlott]

With closer inspection, I've found that for some reason , someone decided to grind off the serial numbers off the side of the lug and restamp the barrel flats.
They also ground off the serial number off the water table and restamp the current number. so this Trojan is obviously a frankenparker.

Funny thing is , when I stripped it down to clean it, all the inside parts all have the current serial number as well the stock under the trigger guard.

[Dean Romig]

With serial numbers ground off or by any other method removed, it is an illegal firearm.

I agree with Dean. I'd return it to the auction company.
