Default Good fotos indeed-

At 'first blush" the Trojan looks very clean- if those are original colors, blue and wood finish- very remarkable- barrel length and chokes are secondary, most all 12 gauge Trojans will have either 28 or 30 inch Trojan Steel barrels, double triggers (with a very few exceptions) and manual extractors and a splinter forearm with the spring "pry-off" release design.

Hard to saw without a closer look at that nice DH- are you sure it is a DH 9extractor gun) or possibly a DHE ejector gun- if the blades are split as you open the gun and "ride" in milled grooves in the bottom of the doll's head barrel rib extension (A Parker hallmark) you have a DHE-- either way, a fine and very popular middle grade Parker. Be very very careful in what you use to clean both the metal and steel, my advise would be wipe with a silicone cloth and keep uncased in a heated home-and when you can, have a reputable double gunsmith check them over for you- If you care to list for us where you reside, perhaps we can recommend someone nearby.

The Trojan looks to me to be an old Del Grego refinished gun with the wrong butt plate on it. Overall a very decent gun. The DHE has some oxidation issues as you stated but all in all a decent gun that with a little TLC could be very very nice. Thanks for posting the pictures.A check of gun sites such as Gunbroker.com. or Gunsamerica.com would give you a good idea what Parkers of this condition sell for.

Thanks, any idea how much they might be worth? I live in Rockland County, NY, about 20 miles outside of NYC. I'm mostly just interested in selling them in as-is condition, if anyone knows of dealers or collectors in the area that are reputable and would give a fair price, I'd certainly be interested in that as well.
