You guys are a highly valuable resource for sure! Thanks to each of you for your replies and comments!

I have recently spent considerable time looking through Gun Broker, Guns Intl etc... and other online sources to try to get a feel for pricing. I know it will take some time and diligence to get a good feel for the values and know how to avoid the problem guns.

However, I may need some help shaking this addiction to Parkers in the near future....

I almost always get an opinion or two before I spend ANY money. That’s how you keep from wasting your money and learn what to look for and lookout for. Good luck.

Trojan

$800.00 imho is a good price if the gun is still on face and operating. A gun is original only once and when the condition gets worn down as this one has it's gone. Don't worry about the small stuff, it dose not matter. It's not a collector quality gun it,s a gun that you can enjoy and shoot/ hunt and pass down. Make it your own shoot it as is or completely refinish to your hearts content. The fact that the original butt plate or front bead is not correct matters not one wit.

Just recalled that I also took this short video showing the overall condition....

Sorry, video will not upload.

At $800, my bet is that the gun is sold. It sure would be if I were at that gun show.

Looks like the original butt plate to me.

Shotguns have a way of attaching themselves to you. I have a Trojan 16 about same condition as yours. It’s one of my favorite shooters. Better looking higher priced Parker’s in the rack I like the Trojan 16 as much as any.
