We need pictures of the trigger to determine whether it is a Parker trigger. We need pictures of the rib at the muzzle and the muzzle face to determine whether your gun was originally a 26" gun. Some aftermarket triggers are not that much of a detriment to a well used Trojan.
|
Just the fact that the gun has a rosewood grip cap makes me want to wager that this gun is heavily altered from its original configuration.
|
working on pictures as requested. May take a few days. Thank you to everybody for trying to help me.

OK, here are a few pictures for your review. Hopefully these reveal some info to help determine the guns lineage. Thanks.

I don't know anything about single triggers but I think that one is not original based on those two little pins.
|
Stock not original, Barrels are cut and the single trigger is not original.

Someone made a Trojan Skeet Gun. Replacement wood, probably cut barrels and probably a Miller single trigger. We need a shot of the safety slide on the top tang to see if it is selective or not.
When the Trojan Grade was introduced in 1912, it was offered in 12-guge with 28- or 30-inch barrels and only 28-inch barrels in 16- and 20-gauges. The first catalogue that I have that includes 26-inch barrels for all three gauges in 1923. The only catalogue I have that shows the option of a single trigger on the Trojan Grade is the 1937 Remington-era catalogue. |
The safety does not have a barrel selector.
|
I made a verbal promise to the man who gave me the gun that I would never sell it and that it would go to my son upon my demise. I am assuming since the gun has been heavily altered it does not have any significant value? Maybe a couple grand tops?
|
Regardless of what cash value it has, it's an unusual and interesting Parker and will likely shoot as well as any Parker worth 10x as much and should make a great skeet and grouse and woodcock gun in heavy cover. So, go out and shoot the hell out of it and be proud of it. I sure would be.
