Default New Parker at the range

I took my new Parker to the range this evening. It’s a Trojan serial number 217931 made in 1926. 28” barrels.
I hand loaded some 2 1/2” paper hulls with an antique Bridgeport roll crimper. This is my first Parker, I’ll be getting a research letter for it soon.

Welcome to the Gang. I shoot a couple of Trojans also, a 16 is my favorite early season duck gun.
