Lee, slow down a little and look a guns like on Guns International or Gun Broker, not to buy but to learn the market and see different models and condition. Stick around here and you will learn a lot and as Jim said join the PGCA. Also if you can wait until Father's Day weekend, myself and Rich Anderson are going to be up for the Medford shoot and be more then willing to talk to you about Parkers and let you shoot some of ours so you can get a feel for them and understand condition and what is original and what is redone, all that effects value. And yes those two guns are priced on the high side and I doubt you would ever get you money back out of them if you sold them. Just my 2 cents but please pm me before the shoot and we can get together and have a show and tell.

Lee, If possible please take/post pictures of the sling swivels. We can tell you if they are original.

Lee,
Join this association, and buy from, or at least run prospects by the guys on this forum. There are often guns like you are looking for posted here, and because of the very collegial, and studied scrutiny by Parker experts of every offering, you can seldom find an “overdescribed” gun. Most of us practice , “got a better one,sell the next best one”, and in this atmosphere, next best is often exceptional! Good Luck.....and start saving for gun therapy!

Lee I'm in agreement with the others that the prices seem high for a Trojan grade. As mentioned look on sites such as Guns International and Gunbroker, look at well known dealers such as Steve Barnett, Stephen Cobb, Mark Beasland etc just to name a few.
The swivels may be original (I have a DHE 20 with them that are original) but pictures will help. The more you learn before spending money will result in money better spent.
