THere is another restored Trojan 20 as well, but it's almost 4K.

I saw that $3600 one last night and it stood out as oddly too nice. Maybe the case colors threw me, or maybe something doesn't look right with the checkering. I'm learning this the very hard way, it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it and I'm hoping in the future prices moderate a bit and there are some better values. Perhaps the nicest Parker I have ever seen was a 16g DHE that was in original condition with all case colors gone, a small chip in the stock, a bunch of dents and scratches and bluing rubbed off the barrels about 40%. But it had been hunted every season for 3-4 decades and was never rested and it was still tight. Beauty to me is a shooter that is affordable. I wanted the gun- no way he was selling it and he has about 50 of them. God I like these guns a lot.

I'd say both of those refurbished 20-gauge Trojans are a lot shinier than our friend the late Ed's benchmark original Trojan was.

I have owned and enjoyed re-done Parkers that were really nice but they did not look original. Since, they are gone at a good profit and I enjoy original condition. Two are Trojan 20's and people are really proud of them. Personally, I like original condition but the hunt for them is the fun and once you shoot a Parker, that really fits you, you are hooked for good reason. But, a well done redone Parker is still a Parker and if the price fits you, enjoy!

That one is Hot! Like torch hot.

Are those colors torch made? I wish I was more astute on such things.

Yes, torched colors.

That's amazing that they could do that with a torch. Probably not good for the integrity of the metal.

Torched is offensive to my eye & that one is for sure.

I went back and took another look. Yes, I see the difference.
