Single trigger Trojan

[Bill Murphy]

We need pictures of the trigger to determine whether it is a Parker trigger. We need pictures of the rib at the muzzle and the muzzle face to determine whether your gun was originally a 26" gun. Some aftermarket triggers are not that much of a detriment to a well used Trojan.

Just the fact that the gun has a rosewood grip cap makes me want to wager that this gun is heavily altered from its original configuration.

working on pictures as requested. May take a few days. Thank you to everybody for trying to help me.

[Keith Landfried]

OK, here are a few pictures for your review. Hopefully these reveal some info to help determine the guns lineage. Thanks.

I don't know anything about single triggers but I think that one is not original based on those two little pins.

[B. Dudley]

Stock not original, Barrels are cut and the single trigger is not original.

Someone made a Trojan Skeet Gun. Replacement wood, probably cut barrels and probably a Miller single trigger. We need a shot of the safety slide on the top tang to see if it is selective or not.

When the Trojan Grade was introduced in 1912, it was offered in 12-guge with 28- or 30-inch barrels and only 28-inch barrels in 16- and 20-gauges. The first catalogue that I have that includes 26-inch barrels for all three gauges in 1923. The only catalogue I have that shows the option of a single trigger on the Trojan Grade is the 1937 Remington-era catalogue.

The safety does not have a barrel selector.

I made a verbal promise to the man who gave me the gun that I would never sell it and that it would go to my son upon my demise. I am assuming since the gun has been heavily altered it does not have any significant value? Maybe a couple grand tops?

Keep your promise. That is worth more than the gun.
Your son will love a well used Parker Trojan. I know I did and I gave it to my son with a proviso that it would go to his son or daughter.
