From the photos I would say $500 ish maybe right. Without the gun in hand it is hard to tell. If it is in great mechanical condition, meaning the barrels are on face, the bores are great, she locks solidly but the stock is a little rough you might get a little more.
It would cost more to have it properly restored than you'll ever get out of money wise but, hey, it is your money. Watch out, there are lots of "gunsmiths" that will refinish it cheap. They'll buff it up and drop it in the blue tank and make it look real purdy and not in the English Purdey way. It is how you ruin a nice worn shotgun quickly. I say have someone that knows what to look it check it out to see if it is sound. If it is sound enjoy it with all its bumps, bruises, warts and all. Don't worry what its worth.

All the above advice is good & on point. Your Trojan Grade Parker is "entry level" or field grade. I would keep it "as-is" with all the hunting/handling marks. If you intend to shoot it or hunt with it have it checked over first by a reliable gunsmith.
Best Regards, George |

Looks like a nice gun in reasonable condition for a gun thats been hunted a lot. The Trojans are tough guns and will perform well and enjoy the fine reputation of all Parker guns. David

Asa Kelley has the worst looking 12Ga. Trojan Barrels in the PGCA, but it is one of the best shooting 26 in Parkers That I have ever shot. I got a 24 the only round of skeet that I shot with it. I am thinking Asa has shot 50 straight with it. So even though you Trojan is well used it will be a pleasure for you to shoot for years and years more.

THANKS TO MY FELLOW NIMRODS!
THANKS TO ALL MY FELLOW NIMRODS! That's exactly what I kind of expected. And couldn't agree more. I never plan to sell it anyway!
Although, "HE" was an Engineer,(MY GIRLFREINDS' DAD) and valued many things that were beautiful, such as 'coin collecting', old 'copper-wood-prints', and fabulous homes and CARS - he always saw his "GUNS" as "TOOLS"! I, on the other hand, use my tools......but, being an ARTIST all my life - which includes: caring-about-and- getting PAID - to care about- WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! I always wanted things that were on the "FANCY"-side. So, I thought about "enhancing"it. Other than that, I truly believe the second SHOT is for the second bird! It's more important to me that the gun "FITS", the mechanism is superb, and the "PATTERN" is uniform at 20 yards! By the way, I used to shoot SKEET VOCIFEROUSLY, and have had many 100/SRT rounds! My COACH was the great "RED HILL", 4 TIMES WORLD CHAMP, from the 70's! He was very big on "FIT & SIGHT & PATTERN", and a wonderful generous man! He taught me how to loose - "Cause nobody's PERFECT"!
