Francis, The rib extension on a Trojan grade gun is not rare. I was standard on guns untill about 1920 or so.

But some "dealers' on the auction sites will describe a Trojan as having the "rare" top rib or small doll's head extension to "trick" the uninformed potential buyer into thinking he/she(?) was about to buy a "rare or special" version of Parker's best selling model (after 1915 of course)-

I have seen the same "hype" used to hawk overpriced AH Fox Sterlingworth's made with the Parker style hinge pin-- When you get a chance, please check you PM here- thanks!!
