I did not see that comment. That would apply to other grades.


Imagine how many Trojans that guy passed up assuming they were all restocked.

Bill, Ed was rather proud of the Trojan and the skeet gun. In his book Shooting Flying he pictured the skeet gun and said it brought $14K That was probably 15 yeas ago. The seller was very disappointed in it's resale as he bought them for investments.

I had seen the skeet gun, years before Ed described it, at a gun show in Richmond, Virginia. It was a field used browned out gun with no character or collector value beyond the unusual splinter forend. I believe the gun was priced at about $2000 when I first saw it. I have to admit, I was intrigued at the splinter forend on an obviously original skeet gun, the first I had ever seen.
