I thought the first was going to be a 20 gauge Superposed but that deal has finalized yet . So the first will be , drum roll please ! A Trogan 12 gauge 2 barrel set . Gun has 26” and 30” barrels . The card I took a pic of was tied on the case . Gun does have a Miller trigger and the Hawkins pad .

The first two O/U’s I ever purchased were multi barrel set . The first a Franchi Trap Combo and the second a Browning Citori 4 barrel skeet set .

Just gave it the line cone test in the front yard . Safety works , Millertrigger is ok with right barrel first and is okay with left barrel first . No doubling :whistle:

Edw. Tryon was a well known Philadelphia gun/sporting goods dealer pre WW-2. A great piece of history in your hands. Love the Miller selective trigger. The Miller brothers, another Pennsylvania memory of better times were legendary! I met Howard Miller in the late 70’s while live pigeon shooting. He was a diminutive man who, when I met him, was shooting a long barreled Winchester M21.

Tryon was a 'major/major' Parker dealer and distributor. When we copied the records for The Parker Story, one Tryon order ran for 11 pages in the Order Books. It could fairly be said they were the equivalent of an A & F in downtown Philadelphia. Interestingly, a fair number of 28 gauge Parkers went to Tryon's and to William Wagner & Son in downtown Washington, DC, that wound up on the Jersey and Maryland marshes in pursuit of railbirds.

Nice find Craig! You're not the only one with a nice Trojan two-barrel set! I know Mills has one in 20g as do I. 20g, 28" and 26" bbls, Miller single trigger, checkered butt, straight grip. Gun shoots great! You'll enjoy your too I'm sure. :)

That’s really neat, both barrels marked to the gun?

I’ve got three two barrel sets now that are or appear to be factory correct . This Trogan , a VH 12 2 frame with 28” and 32” barrels as well as a Grade 0 top lever 10 with 26” and 30” barrels . The 10 gauge while wearing the 26” barrels will most likely get the call this year to slay a Wild Virginia Man Eating Whitetail !
