Parker Brothers lost money on every Trojan made because the workers put the same care in making the internal parts as they did the high grade guns. They had the cheaper to make snap on forearm, plainer wood, no engraving, and plain steel barrels. For shooting they were every bit as good as a high grade gun. All my Parkers are hammer guns, but the wife has a nice Trojan with a extra set of barrels she uses for skeet or SC's. It shoots nice.
