Second gun after the Trojan Skeet Gun.

The engraving on the trigger guard doesn't look "crisp" enough to be new to me and the screw looks a bit iffy.

Good thing it's to spendy for me, cause first thing I'd do is take it out and shoot it. :D

I'm thinking the Market will soon reveal the value of that gun.
We need to be good sports if it sells for too much
:corn:

I've long ago abandoned my collecting theme of owning
the most expensive example of _____ in the marketplace.

Coming on eighty, I have developed a strategy for selling off. Sell the high grade and high condition stuff first. You are less likely to take a bath than your heirs. Leave the low grades and project guns for someone else to worry about. I'll bet that the owner of this GHE is my age.

That's fine, but it isn't necessary to disparage someone's gun with inuendo.

I'm standing next to Tony, with the gun in my hand and can say that the photos in the GI listing should have been good enough to know the gun is what they say it is. It's flat new, and the value is as much a learning experience. Is a nice GHE worth that? Not hardly, but how often do you get to see one just as it left the factory? Would I buy it? No, because I am not in a position to invest in something I can't enjoy to the fullest, but I have no doubt it will sell.
I am only 30 minutes away, and when I really want to see something of this rarity, I'm lucky enough to not have to rely on the internet alone.

Plus, It's a great reason to go to New Britain and have a couple of the best Hot Dogs in New England.

I want that gun, but A: I can't afford it, and B: I would get frustrated owning something that nice that I couldn't use.
I have sold most of my guns that are too nice to use, even though I did use them all to one extent or another.

At my age, 78 plus, I am less interested in my high condition guns and more interested in putting as many rounds as possible through the rest of them.

A somewhat similar gun in a 16 gauge in the 241K serial number range but not quite as nice as the subject gun which I know has absolutely nothing to do with the OP's original question :)

What's the deal with Dave Noreen's comment about the Trojan skeet gun?
