Default Trojan Dolls Head

I'm sure most of us reading this remember the " Parkers Found " section that used to be in The Parker Pages ,always one of my favorite sections of the magazine since I seem to like to search out the odd barrel lengths and such ! With all that said does anyone know the serial # of the last ,20 Gauge Parker Trojan with the " Dolls Head Extension " or at least the last known ,I'm expecting Dean to know the answer pretty quickly on this one ? By the way whatever happened to the Parkers Found section ?

Just a rib extension. No dolls head on a Trojan.

I think the Parkers Found list would make a great members only portion of the forum.

My 16 gauge Trojan 202066 is the last known 16 with the extension. I can’t comment on the 20 gauge.

I too miss the Parkers Found column.

Maybe I should have said that 208009 is in my safe as we speak.

I am pretty sure that Josh was maintaining the Parkers Found list. And as I recall it was being published in PP annually or something like that. So Josh or the Editors would be the ones to check with on that.

Josh’s column was “Parkers Found” and was a periodically updated and published collection of serial numbers of Parkers with unique features or first of or last of or only…
