Never said it was. But why would someone spend that much $$ on a 1920-something Trojan when they could have just ordered a graded gun for possibly less $$.

How many times have we asked ourselves that question about several guns. Because people have more money than brains.

And in that guns case, the gun was likely put together after a new Parker could be purchased.

Some folks (like me) think Trojans have an almost classic look to them with a lack of the frame sculpting of any grade above it. We have all seen examples of "upgraded" Trojans with loads of wonderful engraving, fantastic wood, et al.
I think they are a wonderful pallette for such enhancements.
