Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Trojan was first produced in 1912 and was Parker's attempt to get into the less expensive market at a sales price of $25.50. To keep the costs down, in an effort to appeal to the "average" man, no customer options were offered on the Trojan. This kept production costs down and made the factory processes easier; remember, production line processes were not mature at that time. The latching system was changed to reduce costs even further, and around 1920, the rib extension was eliminated. The engraving was non-existent, and the checkering patterns were simple and done in the course of 12 lines to an inch. The Trojan frame is uncharacteristic of all the other grades and is surely done to further simplify production. Even the butt plate was changed to be less involved, dropping the traditional dog's head in favor of a straight, molded black plastic or rubber butt plate with only a few horizontal lines across it. The forend latch hardware was replaced by a simple internal spring latch, which was removed by pulling on the top of the forend.

Though some exceptions exist, the Trojan was not available for specific orders. It was limited to 12, 16, and 20 gauge and to specific frame sizes: 2, 1, and 0, respectively. Barrel lengths were fixed to two choices per gauge. Ejectors and single triggers were not produced for the Trojan. It was made until 1939 when Remington dropped it from the line after their move to Ilion, NY. Despite the plain exterior, the quality is as good as other Parkers, and they carry and swing as expected, like all Parkers models.
