Description:
General Specs: Parker, Year 1936, 16 Gauge, 6lbs 5oz, Chokes M/F, LOP 14", DAH 2 3/4", DAC 1 5/8"
Serial Number: 239285

Let’s face it, Parker 16ga. doubles are the most costly vintage American double shotguns on the market.  Just like in 1912 when the Parker Trojan model was first introduced, some of us cannot afford an engraved “GRADED” Parker 16ga., so Parker gave us the Trojan Model.  The Trojan Model makes it affordable to walk the fields and clays course with the gun you have always wanted; a Parker just like your dad’s or granddad’s.  The Trojan is the exact same mechanism as any other Parker with a few less options you simply don’t need to go shoot up your favorite birds or clays.  This particular Trojan, sn 239285 built in 1936, is a great little gun with 55% factory case color, 97% factory blue on the 26” M/F barrels, mirror bores, great wood with superb wood-to-metal fit, excellent factory checkering and finish, perfect screws, and excellent stock measurements to the factory original buttplate.  This Parker is a VFI CERTIFIED GUN WITH A 90 DAY MECHANICAL WARRANTY, as the action has been stripped to its smallest part, Ultrasonic cleaned, all parts inspected for form and function, properly lubricated, and reassembled ready for another decade of use before needing service again.  This service is done in our shop and is a $275 value and a service that nobody else offers on their fine vintage side x sides.   It has been used over the years but well cared for, as it is in very clean, untouched, original condition.  Weighing a comfortable 6lbs. 5oz. and balanced perfectly between the hands, it is the perfect gun for long walks in the upland fields or grouse woods and will hold its own on the sporting clays course as you practice or compete.  This gun will be a good investment for you as it will be worth more next year than it is this year as nice Parker 16ga. guns are becoming scarce.  Thanks for looking!
