Default Straight Grip Trojans ?

I know Trojans were supposed to be pistol grip only configurations from the factory and there are converted guns out there but I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a factory straight grip Trojan ?

Brian, I had read there were two or three Trojan Skeet prototypes built but you went to Ilion and gained some information others of us have not learned.

With the Parker catalogs listing the Trojan as pistol grip only with “no exceptions”, that’s interesting to know. Thanks !

There was a very nice Trojan 20 gauge that sold this past week on Gun Broker with a straight stock ,the Trigger Guard appeared to my eye to have had an extension added which led me to believe it started life with a Pistol Grip Stock but I could have been wrong ??? Still was a very nice gun maybe the Gentleman that bought it is one of us and would share some pictures with us !

I have a straight grip 20g Trojan, single trigger, checkered butt, two barrel set (26” & 28”) that will be in the display next week at our Rock Mountain SxS event. I think Mills has one too.
