Ouch, I paid a good amount more for my Parker Trojan at a gun show on 11/29/25. This gun looks newer than the one I purchased...

Jeff, don’t be too quick to jump to any conclusions about the value of your “new” Trojan based solely on this thread. All Trojans are not equal.

Thanks John, I was thinking more that I paid too much for my gun. I'm realizing now that the stock on my gun is not original. It's lacking the checkering and the butt plate is a Remington. I wasn't looking for a "collectors" gun when I went to the show... just a gun I can shoot trap but when I saw this gun I really liked the look and feel. Anyway... I still love the gun and I can live with it even though I may have paid a few hundred too much.

Jeff, A very wise, old collector told me "You never pay too much but sometimes you buy too soon." My philosophy is; if I want it and can afford it, I buy it. These guns offer so much more than utility. Study every mark and scratch on the gun and imagine what adventure, or misadventure caused it. Enjoy your "new" best friend.

Jeff, I never paid too much for a gun I liked and shot well.
