Trojans are great guns, built with utmost care. They will shoot great patterns because the bores and chokes are Parker. If you are like me and some others your first Parker will be a Trojan and as such it will never be for sale. You'll enjoy that Trojan whichever you buy, it will be special. It will also build in you a desire for a higher grade Parker. Take your time, seek competent advice and make sure your choice is not only sound but mostly or all original. Although different in appearance with differing features from all other grades there were fewer Trojans built than VH's. They were sold as knockabouts and used hard. Good sound original Trojan's may not be considered a collectors piece by many but they are becoming harder to find especially in 16 and 20 gauge. Take your time, share pictures, ask questions. Buy wisely because it may not seem like it now, but there will always be another Trojan given time (careful not to buy a pig in a poke).

PS. Trojans are a powerful gateway narcotic, there will be no going back if you buy one
