Most original Parker Bros. hang tags I've seen appear to be done with a fountain pen. The original Parker Bros. hang-tags have the serial number at the top. Here is a 1921 vintage tag --
194565 01 DH 20-gauge.jpg and a 1926 vintage tag -- 216599 12-gauge, 2 3-4 inch, 1 1-4 ounce.jpg |

Tags are definitely suspect, but let’s get back to the guns. Here are pics of the 12 gauge. Let me know what you all think. Really looking for a value for insurance purposes.
Thanks Tom |

That vent hole in the bottom rib tells me all I need to know. Parker Brothers did NOT drill a hole there. That would only have been done when barrels were REblued by an aftermarket gunsmith.
The checkering on both guns is suspect as well, as is the case color. I think both guns were very nicely refurbished but not exactly as Parker Brothers finished the Trojan models. I suspect they may be "unfired" but only SINCE they were refinished. JMHO - no offense intended. .

Since you're a member of PGCA call Cole Cushman to have them insured. It's reasonable and he can get you a policy to cover those and other guns you may own.

This is a picture of Ed Muderlak’s unfired $12k Trojan’s checkering. Note in particular the flat-top diamonds and the correct Parker Brothers’ mullered borders.

Dean,
Absolutely no offense taken. I appreciate the help. I have restored cars and unrestored cars. This in my opinion just falls under what one prefers. They are what they are and I feel I’m in the guns right. At this point I need to know what they are worth. You can’t hurt my feelings, what’s your opinion? Thanks again for your help |

Tom, it's very hard to place a value without handling them and seeing them. That question repeatedly comes up from members and there is likely to be no answer to that question. Cole Cushman will get you a policy that will cover up to something like $50,000 for $150 a year, and you don't have to list the guns. I have personally given up trying to find a value for my guns as the prices are all over the map. I paid $4500 for one gun that I can't give away for $2500 and another I bought for $2500 I was offered $4500 for. Don't get a policy through your regular insurance dude. Ask me how I know this.
