"Garden Variety"? I would bet the the folks at Parker would have disagreed that their economy gun was of garden variety. I think it's true now as it was then, if you have a desire to acquire and shoot a Parker, any Parker, it shows you have discriminating taste IMO.

If this was never engavoed "Parker Bros" on ths sides of the receiver perhaps it was an "employee" gun that somehow slipped through normal inspection.

I can tell you that in 1984 when lead was still legal for waterfowling I shot my first two ducks with a Parker, a 12ga Trojan. After shooting an 870 for several years I was absolutely stunned by the range and performance with 2 3/4" shells in that gun. Two shots and I knew I had something quite special.
