Carl- giving an accurate value without the guns in hand is difficult, good clear detailed pictures could help with a ball park value. You likely have three good shooters at the minimum.

are they all 12 gauges?

the PH has likely been restocked ( the other option is a pistol-grip-dectomy ) was a long tang trigger guard used? and was Parker style and checkering followed?

the Trojan may be original, but with a 2 frame there is some chance that it may of originally had longer than 28 inch barrels - pictures may help - a letter (there are surviving records for that number) would answer that question in fact.

the only thing I know about NIDs is that they are solid guns built for modern (at the time) shells- very solid often not light, the 12's don't bring a lot but make good shooters, the small bores bring a little more money - and the few NID 10's out there are highly sought.

Chamber length needs to be measured, the NID will be 2 3/4, some Parkers were ordered that way, some have been altered to be that way.
