A serviceable $500 Trojan that looks as if it spent its whole life in a duck blind can be found at a dealers table who deals part time in pumps and automatics and whose profit on the last transaction the Trojan represents. I define serviceable gun as one which has left its exterior finish in service to its owner, barrels are tight to breech, bores are fair or better, and the stock has one repairable crack. Bingo $500 Trojan.

The problem is that most sellers with $500 Trojans want $1000 for them :).

I’m still waiting for Craig to find me all those $500 20ga Trojans.

Craig Budgeon 12-21-2024 09:22 PM

I have two 20ga. Trojans for sale at $500, one has 18" barrels and is rough, the other has more original finish, 41/2" drop, and 131/4" barrels. Edgar I am sure either gun will enhance your collection and I will ship free.

Can you post some pictures of the one with the 13.25" barrels please. My uncle Sam, wants to see it

Edgar I am sorry but both guns are sold to a Haitian gentleman about 1AM who wanted them for his banks security. Unfortunately, the guns are boxed and ready for shipment to Haiti. The gentleman expressed his gratitude that he now owned a composed pair of Parker 20ga Trojans and I told him he probably owned the only pair. Sorry Edgar I will keep looking. Craig

Damn. Story of my life. Day Late and a dollar short. I even ordered a letter, because the APS (Alternate Parker Story) said it was ordered by Al Capone.

Edgar, it is always good when the story about gun matches its history. The stories are always better over a beer. Craig

I think those guns were used at the OK Corral by Doc Holliday? :draw:
