Default What if??

What if this was a Trojan? What would be the price?

EDM's mint Trojan 12 sold at auction for about $11,000. Don't believe it had a box and don't believe the chokes on the tag matched the chokes in the gun. A brand new boxed Trojan 20 should sell for near $20,000, especially if it is an early gun.

Ahhh... Another one of those A**holes that like to put other names in their auction titles to try and generate hits.
I actually say this one the other day that made it into my "Parker" search listings.

I think the question might be "What if this were a VH grade?" The Elsie Field grade would correspond to a VH or an A.H. Fox A not a Trojan.

Default Take a closer look Lads-

Crappy wood to metal fit with "burrs" at both the forearm iron shoe and also around the locks- left barrel firing pin looks, to my eyes anyway, to be slightly larger in OD than that of the right barrel firing pin. You can't kill birds with the box or hang tags either- and the case colors- huumm--

Just curious- what model Elsie would have corresponded to either the Parker Trojan or the AH Fox Sterlingworth- Possibly the _not a real LC Smith Fulton boxlock?

Yes, the pink flowers-- maybe this was staged to appeal to the Elton John/Freddie Mercury sector of the shotgun collectors market. Even Limey guitar slinger and wife stealer Eric Clapton dabbled in double guns!! Strange world--

This "dude" may have hit 36 for 36- but the pink floral motif spells "Pansy" to this old Jarhead!!

I have personally examined this gun and it is the real deal. If you question anything about the gun I am sure the owner who is a PGCA member will clarify with additional pictures (without the poseys if you like) or information. If you actually question the original LC case colors then I think you should really do some more homework.... And the seller really isn't an A**hole as stated

I’m the 36 for 36 pink flower loving A**hole that owns this gun. If someone would rather see the pictures on a burlap bag, I can accommodate that request. This gun is guaranteed 100% brand new in the box, unassembled, and unfired, the way it left the LC Smith factory. If anyone questions the original finish of this gun, they need to have their eyes examined. Most old welders I know can’t see very well either.

If you'd like to discuss one-on-one, email me at tspollock@verizon.net.
