Current bid: $0 Will that change??

Jack, you may not have been aware, but the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz had their own trap team and there is munchkin provenance for many of these short stocked, high drop guns. Serious munchkin collectors seek out these guns and pay astounding amounts.

Thanks Bruce. It will be interesting to watch this auction go over. It is live now. Its as if someone mixed up the Trojan CHE estimates and starting bids. At its start price, the Trojan must go up in 1K increments !! Besides possible provenance (Munchkins) how does this restoration look to your CHE eye? I think the colors seem almost translucent so pretty good work compared to so many other weird looking colors.
Cheers,
Jack

Did Mickey Rooney actually own a CHE Parker?? My favorite from his era is the great Humphrey DeForest Bogart--I have heard he owned a high grade 20bore LC Smith, and like to shoot skeet. Also very intelligent, a chess master who used to hustle that board game supreme while waiting for the infamous "Cattle Calls" before his career took off. He didn't have to fake the opening scene at the chess board in my all-time fav: Casablanca--

Francis, I believe the Bogart Smith was on display at a shoot this summer.
