The Trojan was created partly out of competition with the Fox Sterlingworth, as well as other field grade guns from manufacturers like LC Smith and Ithaca. Is most cases, the guns were half (or more than) the price of Parker's VH.
Parker was though, relatively unaccomodating on special orders for Trojans. They were not available with any options and selection of frame sizes, barrel lengths and dimensions were limited.
That is mainly where the Sterlingworth and the Trojan vary is that the Sterlingworth was available with more factory options. The Sterlingworth was always available with Ejectors.
The Fox is also a very good gun. The mechanism is a bit more simple than the Parker. Most would say that it is the only other American made Box Lock that compared to Parker by way of reliability and quality. I would wager to say that many of us Parker guys may own a Fox as well.
