First year Trojans vs later year Trojans

[B. Dudley]

To answer the original poster's question... Not really. The Trojan grade remained as we know it for the length of it's production run. The Trojan was an economy gun to begin with that had as many corners cut as possible in order to save on production labor costs. So, there was no more room to cut corners any farther than they already were.

The only cosmetic change that the Trojan had was the rib extension. The original guns had a simple straight extension and it was then completely eliminated within 5-7 years into production. Some find the rib extension interesting, some don't. nothing more than that.

There were some internal changes to the gun such as the top lever spring design and the safety design, but these were changes implemented throughout Parker's whole line. Not just on the Trojans.

I have a 20ga Trojan from the Remington era ,237,xxx serial number . Great gun and built as well as any other Parker I have. Not like Sterlingworth's that to me went down hill.
