Hi, Chris. Welcome. I saw your Trojan on another post. Looks to be a nice gun. Have you checked to see if there are records for that serial number? You can do so easily from the home page. I'm sure you'll get some suggestions regarding price/value, but remember, at the auction you went to you paid just what you needed to in order to get the gun...and there was at least one other person who was willing to go that one bid shy.
The old guns are about the past and the craftsmanship that went into their manufacture. Each gun has its own history, and now you'll be adding to it.
Enjoy your Parker!
