Engraved Trojan, Why?
8 Attachment(s)
I am new here to the Parker forum... Inherited a 1926 Engraved 20 Gauge Trojan 16 years ago and started this journey then, and frustratingly quit shortly after. I did see two different appraiser's that were highly recommended at the time and both gave me similar info about the engravings and neither could really comprehend why on the Trojan. I put it in the safe and gonna start down this road again, and any help and or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and I hope you have a Great Day! |

They did it because they wanted to. Or they engraved it themselves because it is what they had around and again, wanted to do it. As far as value, it is what it is. It is not worth any more because of the engraving. And it is worth less than a decent condition gun of the same grade/gauge would be because of it. The work is overall on the amateur side by way of quality. It is not like people would be fighting over it if it were for sale.
It has the most value to you, who inherited the gun from someone who cared enough to leave it to you. |

There are surviving records for your gun. Join the PGCA and order a research letter. Who knows what you might learn about your gun.

I am not normally into the very ornate guns... But, this trojan is spectacular, thanks for sharing it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in the case in particular, the owner. If it's beautiful in his or her eyes, that's all the matters. Who cares anyway. It's the owners choice. Enjoy it. It's beautiful
