My Goodness... I was just rummaging around in my gun/library/reloading room and came across a box of glossy photos that I had forgotten I had. I think either Ed Muderlak or possibly Austin Hogan had given them to me well over a dozen years ago... They are many of the photos EDM had used to illustrate his book Parker Guns the "Old Reliable" and included were pictures of his 12 gauge unfired Trojan ( 227251 ) with tags and original box... sorry, no pics of the box.
Someday in the near future I'll post pics of the borrowed Trojan I hunted with when I was 13-15 in 1961-64... though it's nowhere near as nice as EDM's, but it is the same in barrel length and chokes.
