Guns of that level of original condition are in the finest collections.

Looks to me like those barrels were reblued with the blue on the lug and ejectors.

I wonder how it is choked with those long barrels. Smart money would be on Full/Full but I'm betting on cylinder/cylinder for elusive grouse in a redwood forest.

Gun #2 - Trojan
There are indeed two fore-ends for the "Parker DHE 34 straight grip" (thanks everyone for the great info!!). However, unfortunately we only have one set of barrels. It obviously came with two sets because of the two fore ends (only one of which fits the current barrel set). Also, my dad told me that he remembers his dad taking some guns to get blued when he was a kid (so in the late 60s, early 70s), which would explain the blueing on the ejectors for the first shotgun.
Here are some pictures of the second shotgun. We also have some "paperwork" that came with the trojan, as well as an issue of a 1965 guns and ammo magazine that my grandfather saved since it was about Parker Shotguns and he owned two of them. Will post those in a second. Hope you all enjoy seeing this stuff! |

Very nice Trojan. How wonderful to still have the original hang tags with the gun. Interesting that the hang-tag for this 1924 vintage, 2-frame, 12-gauge, says "Use Shells...2 5/8...Long" and that it was targeted with a 1 1/8 ounce load. A load of 1 1/8 ounce of #7 Tatham Chilled Shot goes 336 pellets -- 225/336 = 67%, 250/336 = 74.4%.
I have saved pictures of other 12-gauge hang-tags that show "Use Shells,,,2 3/4...Long" and were targeted with 1 1/4 ounce of #7 1/2 Tatham chilled shot which would be 431 pellets. I have saved another 12-gauge hang tag of 1929 vintage that says "Use Shells...2 5/8....Long" but it is for a much lighter weight gun. |
