Parker question

[GH-16]

Denny,

Your gun look's like it is in very,very nice condition and has a nicely figured piece of wood
for the grade of gun.

If I had a gun like this that I wanted to sell. I would probably contact one of the auction houses like James Julia or one of the others and have them appraise it and possibly consign it to them to sell for you. More than likely this will bring the highest dollar value for it.

You might want to keep the gun yourself though. I only wish I had an inheritance gun like this. What a fine item to have as a lasting memory from your grandfather. Once it's gone, it's gone forever. Think about what the gun meant to your grandfather, for him to have kept in this condition over all these years.

FYI, Your gun is a VH rather than a VHE. It is an extractor gun rather than an ejector model.

Didn't Ed Muderlak realize realize somewhere around $10K through a James D Julia auction for his unfired 12 ga. Trojan with original shipping carton and hang tags?

Yes, Ed Muderlak's NEW IN BOX, with hang tags, 12ga Trojan brought $10,000.00 at a James Julia Auction a few years ago ... And, I'm still kicking myself for not buying it when Ed offered it to me before sending it to Jim Julia.

EDM sold a NIB Trojan to one of our members along with a high condition 20ga VHE skeet gun. That member sold the skeet gun privately and the Trojan but I don't know if it was through an auction like Julia's or not. I do know EDM was upset that he sold the gun as he made a profit.

Rich you are correct Ed did sell the gun to a second party and they were the one's that sold the Trojan through Julia's. Eric

Oops....

That was me posting under Daves sign-on. He neglected to sign out when he left the room. I do believe I remember EDM's Trojan bringing such a sum a few years ago.

Thank you for the feedback. My grandfather had quite the collection...including pre-64 model 70 and 54 Winchesters, all unfired.I have several others. I have his WWI uniform,helmets,.45 plus army issue ammo and all his paperwork too.He was 88 when he passed in '85.
I do not consider myself a collector,I do hunt deer,but my family is not into this gun collecting thing. I was hoping to find someone who loves the Parker collectables and pap's old 'dont shoot the gun' collecting can live on.

Denny, I fully understand..When you get a chance send me an email..tinerj@earthlink.net. Thanks

Now that looks like a truly mint Parker. What a beauty! I bet the insides don't look anything they do on the the one I've spent all day today dismantling and cleaning! What a gorgeous stock. Go Remington!
