Never say never!! Heck, one of my favorite Parkers to shoot is a 20g Trojan, straight grip, checkered butt, single trigger, two bbl/two fore-end set. All numbers match. I would have never though I'd get a Trojan like that. Now if I find those 28g bbls first......:rotf:

The plot thickens!

Brian,
The two serial numbers listed in the Parker Story are 213811 and 234428. According to the Parker Serialization and ID book 231811 is a 12 gauge 28" Trojan and 234428 is a 16 gauge 30" Trojan. The two 28 gauge Trojans may be don't exist. The 30" 16 Gauge Trojan is one rare bird in itself.

TPS vs SB
 

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.

Interesting, supposedly L.C.Smith built one 28 gauge gun for a lady in the Smith family. It remains a mystery to find also or if it ever existed.

Houston - We have a problem...

I think this gun surfaced last year. It was being offered on the LC Smith forum with no price. I think someone was just trying to determine what it might be worth.

I could be wrong but I believe they had an affixed date for the highest bidder on the Smith or possibly taking offers until a certain date ??? Figured it was going to be way above my wallet size so I haven't paid any attention to be honest !

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!
