It is very likely your Trojan left Meriden chambered for the standard of the time 2 9/16 inch 16-gauge shell. Trojans were a "stock" gun, not subject to the special order choices of the the higher grade Parker Bros. guns.
From the 1929 catalogue -- "Made to these specifications only -- 12-gauge, 26", 28" or 30" barrels. Weights 7 1/2 to 8 lbs. 16 gauge, 26" or 28" barrels. Weights 6 1/2 to 7 lbs. 20 gauge, 26" or 28" barrels. Weights 6 1/4 to 6 3/4 lbs. Trojan Guns are regularly bored as follows, but other borings may be had if desired. The 30" barrels both full choke; 26" and 28" barrels, right hand modified, left hand full choke. NOTE: We will not accept orders from Trojan guns calling for any deviation from the above specifications."
