Hey fellers; sorry for the gap in communications. Did you get enough info on my gun to make a judgment about its value?

Arthur, since no one else has commented on your original question....let me throw my two cents in.
looks like a nice Trojan thats been restocked fairly well. i can't tell from the pics for sure but finish looks pretty rough on right side & barrels. may be just pictures. you need to post the specs...LOP, barrel length , chokes & condition of bores. even without all that , the book says a Trojan 16 that is 10 % original condition( and that means not messed with at all ) would be worth about $1000. the restocking realy knocks the collector value down. but maybe i'm wrong..maybe they just took the butt plate off & checkered it. anyway, i would say value to someone like me would be $900 to maybe $1500. but ...who am i ? ddp

Thanks DDR.
The barrel is 26", and in great shape both inside and out; no blemishes. The chokes are modified and improved. The restock is excellent,but without but plate. The distance from rear trigger to but is 13 3/8". Screws are all good to excelent. The gun is a beauty, and shoots good. What else do you need to know? Arthur |

Arthur,
sounds like it's in pretty good shape. BUT you have the advantage ...your holding it. now based on additional info...taking your word, i'd say the $1500 would be pretty close give or take. there again, the restock. what your calling excellent others may not. i called it fairly well based on the gaps along the upper tang. i have attached pics of a factory & a restock so you can make your own judgement. also the checkered butt on a Trojan 20 restock, i realy like that look..once again , all this is just my opinion. ask 10 people & you'd probably get 10 different prices. good luck to you whatever you decide to do. i hope this helps. ddp

DDP, you've got to be a good man; you and Phil. Y'all helped, and you could have ignored my bumbling.
I really don't know what I'm going to do about selling the gun. I understand what you're saying, and I'm sure you're right. Like most, since I own it's surely worth more. Maybe I just need to find someone, not a collector, who wants a good Parker in the family. Arthur |

Your very welcome...glad it helped. really wasn't much to it.
if you decide to sell...this is a good place to do it. always somebody looking for a good Parker. if I didn't have 2 16's already i'd probably be trying to make a deal with you now. maybe i'll need another by the time you get ready to sell.....time will tell. good luck to you . ddp
