I paid $950 for my Trojan 16 a few years back. It’s far from collectible but I wouldn’t take the prices that are being mentioned here for it.

Three years ago I paid $1,200 for a beater 20 ga. Trojan. The wood was painted with a brown pigmented varnish, but the screws were very nice and it was nice and tight. I would pay easily the same today. I like the gun!

What does a 20 ga. Trojan with 28" barrels weigh?

Stan the 28" 20 gauge Trojan I have weighs 6lbs even.

It's a wonderful gun I bought for my son before he could walk. It is exactly 100 years older than him made in 1913 with the rib extension. Choked IC/M

I try not to shoot too often as I am afraid I will fall in love with it! It just doesn't miss. He'll be shooting it in the next year or two.

$600 16 gauge Trojan with 28" barrels
 
Even in this condition, I thought this was a good buy. I think someone got a good shooter. You can't get anything for $600 bucks.

The Trojan was offered in very limited specifications. In the early years, only 28-inch barrels in all three gauges and the option of 30-inch barrels in 12-gauge. The 1913 flyer --

Circa 1915/6 --

Attachment 137406

By 1923 they added the option of 26-inch barrels --

Attachment 137407

The 1930 catalog --

A couple of years before they dropped the Trojan Grade, Remington offered a single selective trigger --

The A.H. Fox Gun Co. offered their entry-level gun, the Sterlingworth, in all four barrel lengths in all three gauges as well as the option of ejectors and from 1914 onward the Fox-Kautzky Single Selective Trigger.

I have 2 20ga Trojans both with 28" barrels, they weigh 6lb 2oz and 6lb 4oz. They are great guns. If your looking for a 20ga Parker at a reasonable price look no further. They shoot and feel like any other 20ga Parker.

According to the table on page 246 of The Parker Story there were three 16-gauge Trojans built with 30-inch barrels and one of the two 28-gauge Trojans had 30-inch barrels. Have any of these guns surfaced?

This is the 20 gauge Trojan Papa found under the Christmas tree. The checkering is nearly worn off from use and the barrels shiny. It remains tight as a drum. No one would know that I love this little gun. I started shooting it 65 years ago.
