I agree, but I know of a new in box 16 ga Skeet gun that overshadowed Ed's gun ! Ed agreed ! That was one of the hardest guns to let go of, but it's in good hands

It was in the Parker Pages. At our annual meeting at the Vintagers at Pintail Point. it came in second place behind Jimmy Hall's A1 16 gauge, and there were many (over 20) beautiful guns at that meeting.

Ed's Trojan had a bit of a problem with the bore dimensions versus the "original tag". I digested the observed contradiction, but did not share it with Ed because we were going though a bit of a snit at the time. It was a nice gun, but not at $10,000. The buyer's premium, as I recall, escalated the price a bit above the $10,000 figure.

I heard of that one from a mutual friend of yours and mine .

Since this thread was started way back when I did acquire a rather nice Trojan IMO. I may have posted pics previously, who knows. Not perfect but it's not lacking a lot.

I think that gun was at one time sold to a member here from Colorado along with a mint VHE 20ga skeet gun. In turn that person was selling both guns. I bought the skeet gun. Where that Trojan is now is anyone's guess.

There is another one I saw listed as collector quality and original that very obviously is not....
