Gauge and condition are what drives the price on any gun. A 20 Trojan will bring 4 times the price of an equal condition 12. A 16 will bring twice the price of a 12. That is just the nature of the market today.

I purchased a 16ga Trojan approximately 6 years ago from one of the bigger auction firms.
It was an all original gun with 28" mod/full chokes, 15% case colors and 85% blue finish on the barrels. the wood was solid and uncut, with normal wear to the finish. 1919 date of manufacture so had the doll's head extension. My low ball bid was $450 and was the only bid. With buyers premium of 15% and shipping I was into it for $575.

That was a steal. Maybe grand larceny level - LOL

I think Trojans are under appreciated. I really like my original 20 gauge with 28" barrels.

I have a very nice 20 ga Trojan that I had Dan and Ryan Cullity freshen up some years ago. I probably shoot this Trojan more than any of my other Parkers. Comes up nice

I do not own a Parker Trojan, but to me the sceaming buy in todays market are the 16's. There seem to be way more 30" 16's versus 30" 20's so if u want longer barrels in a small bore at half the price of a 20ga consider 16's. The only downside is a few onces heavier and ammo avaliability which is easily attainable by reloading or RST. Now if you want a 16ga that weights less than a Parker 16ga, consider the Fox Sterlingworth 16ga, a best buy in my opinion.

Great point Craig. I've since convinced a noted Parker member who frequents this forum and now visits the Fox site. I sold him a 20ga Fox and he is now sliding down the rabbit hole. I thing a 16 is in his future.

What is the production of 30" Trojan 16s versus 30" Trojan 20s?
