Griffin & Howe Trojan on Guns International

[David Livesay]

I have been looking for a nice original Trojan for a while and to my novice eyes this one looks really nice. I was wanting to know if any of you all have any experiences with the seller and are they reputable? It appears that they are advertising the gun as original.

Here's a link to the gun in question.

Looks legit to me.

[Donald F. Mills]

I have purchased from them and found them good to deal with. I called them and they spoke to me about the gun I was considering with the gun in hand and were happy to give additional information.

The gun your interested in looks legit to me also.

G&H has been around for about 100 years. I think you could trust them.

[Bill Davis]

This Parker is in pretty nice original condition. Trojans usually had a hard life and this one has considerable original finish. I’ve had many interactions with Griffin & Howe and I think you will be pleased with their service. I wouldn’t wait too long on this one. It won’t hang around long.

[John B White]

I spied that one too. If I wasn’t picking up my 2nd Trojan from my FFL next Friday, I would be inquiring about that one as well. Looks good

[Brian Dudley]

A surprisingly reasonable price from them for a gun of that condition.

[David Livesay]

Thanks for the assistance and advice everyone, I just purchased the gun.

[Donald F. Mills]

Congratulations!

Dang you got a good buy that's a nice Trojan.

I had been under the impression that a nice 12 ga. Trojan could be had for $500-$1000 +/- but had yet to find one that I thought was all original with some condition. This one does look very nice and was advertised as original. At first, I thought it was too much for a 12 ga. but after a few of you stated that was a reasonable price I decide to go for it. I am excited to get it my hands and get out and try it out. This makes #3 so I guess I am hooked. Thanks for all the comments.

I think you were shopping in 2026 but your brain was on 2024. Sadly everything is going up. As someone on here said it's all about condition. I paid that for a very nice mostly original 16g about 6 years ago. I couldn't touch that now.

[Clark McCombe]

Invest and have fun, not bad !!

[Ian Civco]

How much was the asking price on this one? As it has sold, that’s been removed.

I don’t think 12 gauge side by sides have increased since 2024. At best, they are stagnant, if not decreasing.

The price was $1700

[allen newell]

You did just fine. I shoot my 20 ga Trojan probably more than any of my other Parkers

[Ian Civco]

The price was $1700

To me, that seems fair. But I have a weakness for a side by side showing a decent amount of case colouring. And, the gauge doesn’t bother me like it does some. Being a 12 gauge hurts it, however, and I don’t know how much higher than $1700 it could have brought.

I figured that was very close to the top end of the price range for a 12 ga. Trojan in the condition that is in.

[Bill Murphy]

The "top end of the price range" is what we normally pay. Watch the Guyette and Deeter auction on Thursday and add in the buyer's premium and shipping.

Not hardly. A high condition gun can, and does, go for more. Condition always trumps grade or gauge.

[Bill Murphy]

Yup, remember the Muderlak Trojan 12 gauge that sold for about ten grand.

[Alfred Houde]

You did alright. Nice gun.
