- Photo courtesy of Orvis Co. Introduced in 1915 and discontinued in 1939, the Trojan was Parker Bros. Attempt to build a low priced, utility grade, double gun. The initial selling price was $27.50 and the gun remained the most affordable Parker model throughout its production life.
- I have a Parker bros. Sxs double barrel shotgun. Serial number 205575. I know nothing about these guns and would like to figure out what kind of value it has. I am sure condition is everything. I would call it good condition. It is obviously worn but still shines, wood looks good and the barrels are in decent condition.
