A poor condition Trojan can usually be had for less than 600. But it may not be shoot able.
Also, those are collector prices based on percent of original finish. To some, the fact that a gun is a good shooter that can be worked means differently.
Thanks Brian.
Just wondering. What is the condition percentage cut-off point of a Parker (or any other 100 year old gun) becoming a collector piece or just a shooter? I mean, Parkers aren't a dime a dozen. I would think the condition percentage would be lower for the Parker than some mass produced newer gun. Especially if you want an all original gun.
Sorry for all the questions. I'm just trying to get as much information as I can before I go to the show.
