When the Trojan Grade was introduced it was only offered in 12-gauge with 28- or 30-inch barrels, and the 16- and 20-gauges with 28-inch barrels. By the early 1920s the 26-inch barrels were added to the offerings in all three gauges. According to the tables in The Parker Story, there were 5,577 28-inch barrel 16-gauges and 992 with 26-inch barrels. Even though they were never catalogued, the records show three 30-inch 16-gauges. All the catalogues I have state the 30-inch barrels were normally choked full & full and the 26- and 28-inchers were modified & full.
