As with all things Parker, there seem to be exceptions and wrinkles to everything. My 16ga Trojan is S/N 186773, 1919 cohort, and has 26" original, uncut barrels. Chuck's letter states that the gun was part of a large order from Norway that was cancelled before delivery. Alas, the stock book with this gun's serial number is missing and its actual delivery date and configuration aren't documented.
