Apparently, based on today, I'm not the only one.
Anyone smiling after the auction? I saw the Trojan sell. A very nice gun, and one to keep for a while.

Did you get a chance to look the Trojan over? After failing to get the DHE 28 ga. it was next on my list and I ended up getting it. I went up and looked at alot of the Parkers on tuesday and the Trojan was the mintest and most original one that I saw and I had little doubt that this was the real deal. The gun that surprised me was the LC Smith 410 (Lot 2267). It brought $16800 with the 20% premium. I have one that is as good or maybe alittle better with 26 inch barrels and improved and modified chokes that I like better. I have followed these guns for years and have never seen one bring that kind of money.
