A new in box Trojan is a gun for the serious collector. It is a benchmark Parker. To the true collector it is not a gun to be fired. It is one of the centerpieces of a coveted collection.
A 92-95% GHE 12 is a different story altogether. It has been fired. It may be fired again. In fact, it is highly likely that it will be fired again.
There is a man for each of these guns and to ask us to choose which we would prefer is like asking if we would prefer a really fine painting or a two year old Ford 4X4.
