Oh I don't disagree with you Edgar - We know that is how Parker Bros. identified the Trojans, but the question remains, what does OV mean? Why not simply stamp them with a TR or a TRO ??

I would Love to find, or anyone find, an explanation of what the letters OV stand for.

Here's a thought, I wonder if it's OV, or 0V ? 0, being the lowest grade, so maybe 'lower than V' ?

Dean ,do you suppose it could be the barrel finish and steel ,is the barrel steel actually Vulcan with less fit and finish ? O for Trojan ,V ,Vulcan barrel designated for the Trojan Grade ??? My Twist Barreled Trojan does not have the OV but is stamped T X ! And of course we figure T for Twist Steel and again who knows why the X !!!!!

I had considered that Edgar and I went so far as to suggest that possibility jn a previous discussion. Nobody picked up on it but that doesn’t mean it can’t be.

But as you suggest, is it a 0 or an O ?
The workers at PB were pretty conscientious in their number and letter stamping, sooo…

So I think we all should look more closely tk be certain about which die was used.
