My Grandfather was a trap shooter and bird hunter. When I got interested in hunting my Mom would tell me stories bout his guns and how much he loved his Parker. Unfortunately my Grandfather died before I was born and all his guns were given to friends or sold. At a gun show I saw a Parker Trojan 12ga. I was about ready to graduate from Michigan State at the time and Mom and Dad bought that gun for me as a graduation present. I traded it for a VH 12 then traded that off for a Grade 5 Browning 20ga O/U which I traded off for something else. Years, no decades went by before I got the Parker bug and bought a DHE 20 from Cabelas in Owatonna MN on my way to Wyoming to shoot Prairie dogs. I still have that 20 but I wish I had the Trojan back.
