Glad to hear from somebody close. I tried to figure out if there were any members in the area hoping to get with someone who could help me navigate this complicated site. I feel like an idiot. Part of my problem is poor phone and Internet service. I get on the site and lose service. I know nobody can help me with that, but when I'm on, I can't figure out how I should be operating. Maybe we could meet sometime.
Todd is between Boone and West Jefferson on hy 194. My home number is 828 264 6624.
Thanks for the contact Gary!

Arthur, I use Hughes net internet service, it is a dish like directv, I live on top of the mountain here and get good service from it although it is a little slow, I am in MIchigan right now back home to V.A. around the 12th July I will give you a call then I am retired and just doing some traveling but love anything to do with a Parker! As they say here on the mountain Boone ant no fur piece from here. Gary

Hey fellers; sorry for the gap in communications. Did you get enough info on my gun to make a judgment about its value?

Arthur, since no one else has commented on your original question....let me throw my two cents in.
looks like a nice Trojan thats been restocked fairly well. i can't tell from the pics for sure but finish looks pretty rough on right side & barrels. may be just pictures. you need to post the specs...LOP, barrel length , chokes & condition of bores. even without all that , the book says a Trojan 16 that is 10 % original condition( and that means not messed with at all ) would be worth about $1000. the restocking realy knocks the collector value down. but maybe i'm wrong..maybe they just took the butt plate off & checkered it. anyway, i would say value to someone like me would be $900 to maybe $1500.
but ...who am i ?

Thanks DDR.
The barrel is 26", and in great shape both inside and out; no blemishes. The chokes are modified and improved. The restock is excellent,but without but plate. The distance from rear trigger to but is 13 3/8". Screws are all good to excelent. The gun is a beauty, and shoots good.
What else do you need to know?

Arthur,
sounds like it's in pretty good shape. BUT you have the advantage ...your holding it.
now based on additional info...taking your word, i'd say the $1500 would be pretty close give or take.
there again, the restock. what your calling excellent others may not. i called it fairly well based on the gaps along the upper tang. i have attached pics of a factory & a restock so you can make your own judgement. also the checkered butt on a Trojan 20 restock, i realy like that look..once again , all this is just my opinion. ask 10 people & you'd probably get 10 different prices. good luck to you whatever you decide to do. i hope this helps.

DDP, you've got to be a good man; you and Phil. Y'all helped, and you could have ignored my bumbling.
I really don't know what I'm going to do about selling the gun. I understand what you're saying, and I'm sure you're right. Like most, since I own it's surely worth more.
Maybe I just need to find someone, not a collector, who wants a good Parker in the family.
