Good job Matt, I would have never thought to check the actual numbers in the serialization book to see if the TPS was right. But then there have been discussions about the TPS having some minor errors here and there. I guess Chuck would have to get involved to see which one is correct from the stock books.

213811 is a Trojan 12/28", 234428 is a Trojan 16/28" according to the stock book.

A person could understand one of them being innocently wrong, but both of them? And off by a lot. I guess we learned a lesson there - AGAIN!

Matt, the 20 gauge 30" Trojan is a bit rarer than the 16 gauge 30" Trojan. Yes, the 30" 20 gauge does letter. It is serial #181,193, was ordered by Arthur DuBray when he was in California. The price was $25.00, obviously a low budget California duck gun.

I have a set of 28ga barrels from James Purdey 28 inches M/F. There fitted to an A1 special upgrade but I have no real need for them.
