Default Parker Trojan front bead
Question what would be the proper front bead for a 1921 Parker Trojan ?Bought a 16g recently that has totally been redone. New rust blue, case colored reciever and been restocked ro modern dimensions. Gun is absolutely flawless but I fear the front bead is not correct. Mid bead is very small and appears to be ivory.

I checked my 20 gauge Trojan, similar vintage, and it's ivory.

A Trojan wouldn’t originally have had an ivory mid-bead unless specially ordered.

And if a Trojan has a mid bead at all it was specially ordered or it was done aftermarket.
