carl if them barrels are ok you can shoot the 2 3/4 inch shells all day..mind most of us shoot low brass shells on account of the wood but an ocasinal high brass will not bother these guns..the 2 2 5/8 inch chambers were made thus to get a better seal on the shell of 2 3/4 inch shells...now mind most folks stay away from steel shot especially if the gun has full chokes..most folks use bismuth or nice shot in the old doubles were required...you have a nice pair of parkers so enjoy them take them shooting or hunting... charlie

Without someone to measure your bores and chokes with a micrometer, your best bet to determine the originality of your Trojan is a PGCA letter, $40 for PGCA members. If it turns out to be an original 26" gun, it will be worth hundreds more than a cut gun. Some original guns have very little if any blank area at the end of the rib.
