Unusual Marked Rib
As I am still new to the Parker world, I have question on a rather unusual 20 Gauge. It is a 1905 gun according to the serial # and the frame is a VH. The barrels however, are marked as Trojan Steel Barrels and are numbered to the gun. The unusual part of this is that the rib extension is of the VH design, and not the Trojan “U” shaped design and therefore fits into the top of the VH receiver. I cannot figure out why a set of barrels marked as Trojan on the rib, would have a VH rib extension? If they were Vulcan Barrels, then they would be marked so. Am I missing something?? Thanks.
