Sorry Rob I should have been more clear. Parker’s generally have the termination line but it’s not 100%. Without one you would have to consult a letter or the serialization book like I did. I am confident they should be 26”

When the Trojan was introduced the barrel length offerings were 28- and 30-inch in 12-gauge and only 28-inch in 16- & 20-gauge. The 1913 Flyer --

Those were still the offerings in the 1916 catalog --

By the 1923 catalog they added 26-inch barrels to all three gauges --

With all the errors that have been found in that serialization book I'd want a PGCA letter for peace of mind!

Nice little Trojan 20, I happen to like 26" barrels, and always on the lookout for one.

I have one. Bought it from Russ Jackson about five years ago… I love it. The perfect Parker for upland birds in nasty weather.

Bill, I currently have one remaining but it’s spoken for.
I’ll try to get some more.
