True, but in the catalog where the introduction of the Trojan Skeet gun they pictured the Trojan with a straight grip, single trigger and abeavertail.

Asked about info on it and you looked it up. It’s from one of the missing books. 209285.
It even has a gold medallion under the stock with “FP” engraved on it. That means “First Place”.

What catalog was that? Is it pictured in The Parker Story? Anywhere else?

I don't believe it was in a catalog. There is one picture on a parts price list, maybe other places also. It was a trick to drive later day collectors crazy. I have pictures with the gun in my hands, but never got to shoot it.
