Dean,

Certainly Parker changed it's mind on whether they would vary from their firm position on what could be had in a Trojan. I was just making the point to Harold that this gun has two strikes against it being a Trojan based on the phone conversation; but if it is, as you say it is a rare bird indeed, especially in 1917. Or someone knew someone at Parker or one of the employees had it built that way. The jury is still out on what it really is though.

Absolutely correct Jerry. Seeing is believing so we'll just wait and see.

The gun needs to be held in hand and every detail examined closely.

A seller who cannot identify a Trojan from a VH is not likely to own a bore micrometer. This gun is probably a nice 0 frame VH. Or it could actually be a Trojan with 0 mark on the lug, in which case it is probably a 20 gauge. Either way, it's probably a good deal if it has no other problems. If you could tell us the serial number, we likely could tell you exactly what you are considering.
