202066 16-guage Parker Trojan with 26" barrels choked Cyl & Mod, has been nicely restored and feels like a 28 on the 00-frame.

Very nice photo!

The photo was taken at "Grouse Camp" in Vermont and the Trojan accounted for a big cock grouse and a YOY to add a tad to the bag's heft that morning.

I’ll bet you remember that day forever…I hope you do.

Beautiful photo and of course beautiful gun. It looks surprisingly like mine. It too a 16g but older and on the #1 frame but even then its only 6.5lbs. Who did the restoration on it if I may ask ?

Nice picture there Dean,
Mr Ruffed grouse, the most elusive and the most noble game bird, in my opinion.

I have hardly hunted many grouse like most of the serious hunters on this fine forum, just once I was able to take 2 in 1 morning, hopefully there will be more, but that is a morning I will remember.

Nice picture, Dean. We all know Parker made some of the most beautiful graded shotguns. I am so pleased you posted a Trojan a "working mans gun". The Trojan was the Parker one would find in the small town hardware store. A town of 1500 or less. Possibly in the local sporting goods store to be purchsed over the counter. I also hunt with a couple of Trojans. I enjoy the history when I carry these fine old guns.

Nice pic Dean, certainly worthy of being a home page pic.

That is a great one! Good work Dean R and John D!

When I bought this Trojan about 15+ years ago the seller told me it had been done by the Ohio Case Color co. but I have no evidence of that.

Dave Suponski has a Trojan 20 with 28" barrels that could be my gun's twin inre to the case colors and the high quality of restoration.
