Trojans tend to be underrated. But they are all Parker for sure. I currently have three. The 16 bore is one of my favorite pheasant guns early in the season. I also use it occasionally for ducks using my Bismuth hand loads with and an ounce of shot. It's a good 35 yard gun and is great for ducks over decoys in the flooded timber swamp I hunt. I never take shots over 35 yards or so with it but that one ounce load at 1200 fps really folds them up if used with restraint.

Let me start by saying I can’t afford B grades and above unless I’m able to steal them (in the figurative sense of course :rolleyes). But every Parker I’ve got is subject to use my two most costly dollar wise have been hunted more than all the others put together . Every quail trip so far this season I’ve carried my VH 28 and Brutus was hauled up plenty trees this year waiting to bowel over some poor unsuspecting deer . Matter of fact it’s in the works to try and get Brutus a gobble bird this spring , well provided my cousin doesn’t back out as he’s the turkey hunter not me . So none of mine I suppose would be considered safe queens in the normal sense , now staying in the safe because they weren’t carried isn’t about worrying about scratching but rather there’s something else I wish to shoot more . And last but surely not least congrats on the new acquisitions !!!!
