I recently got in a Trojan that has a few interesting features in the original wood.
We have seen many V's and G's that have very nice wood on them that makes us wonder if they are original or not. And sometimes we ask ourselves what Parker would have allowed by way of quality.
This Trojan is an example of both.
The back of the forend wood has some very nice curl all the way through it for about the back 2 inches. This is a feature that anyone would love to have on higher grade parkers since most forends do not show too much figure because of being such a small piece of wood.
But... on the buttstock, there is large knott right on the top of the comb about 3/4" in diameter. One would THINK something like this to not be desireable, even on the lowest Parker grade.
