Trojan partisans aver that by the 1920s it was the Trojan, with its Art Deco frame configuration, that was the more period-correct, compared with the graded Parkers, given their anachronistic, Art Nouveau styling.

I picked up a pretty clean, un-messed with little Trojan 20 way back, maybe 25 or 30 years ago, just to kind of round off the bottom end of my humble little collection. It just sat in the back of the safe, never fired for maybe 20 years.
One day, just for the heck of it, I get it out to chase some desert quail. The little gun carries like a cue stick, and kills like a hammer! The simplicity of the exterior, for cost cutting sake, it is a no-nonsense, and historically significant product. the Parker Bros knew what they needed to do to put their gun into the hands of people who could not afford even a VH, and would otherwise go elsewhere. They knew what they were doing when they designed the Trojan. |

Unlike the people at Fox who were a bit ashamed to put the AH Fox name on their lowest priced offering, the Sterlingworth.... Parker engraved Parker Bros. on the Trojan, just like they did with their very highest priced offering.
