This ad mentions a Specialty grade, but I also don't know if that is the gun he used to win the GAH Doubles in 27' and 28'
This image is in his book "How To Shoot Traps"; and the gun appears to have the "Trap Package" - a beavertail forend (Schnabel forend available in 1922) with the reinforced barrel lug, Automatic Ejectors, Hunter One-Trigger, standard recoil pad, and two ivory sights. The ventilated rib on the double barrel gun was introduced in 1925.
The other issue is that he was competing into the 1950s (though mostly with a Model 12) so the DOM of the guns would neither confirm nor exclude the possibility that one was actually used by Troeh.
