Plain Twist Trojans
Just something to ponder ,as I was reading in TPS ,about Twist steel barreled Trojan grades " Page 246 ,Volume 1 ",I believe the smaller of the two volumes ,It was saying ,they were disignated as " PTX " with the following Plain Twist and we are not sure what the X stands for ,as I was reading this , It seemed to me ,on my Trojan 16 Ga. ,I had noticed an X stamped some where on the gun ,I went to the safe and got the 16 Ga. out and took it down and on the fore end lug ,there is an " X " Stamped on the facing part of the lug , I looked at my other Parkers and none of them have this stamping ,do you suppose the X has something to do with the snap on fore ends we see on the Trojan grade guns ,take a look at your Trojans and others and see if any of the other Trojans might have this stamping ! The serial # on my gun is 186214, It is a Trojan Steel barreled gun , may be something they did on a certain period of Trojan grade guns ! By the way when TPS was written only a couple of the PTX guns were known to exist ,has anyone info. on how many of the 43 are known today ,it would be interesting to dig them up and locate them .
