None of my business but since your sale has been commented on by a non buyer.
There were 8 years of dolls head Trojans 17 years of no dolls head Trojans. Most buyers would pay more for a dolls head gun. thats a fair price for a nice 16 G Trojan if it looks as good as it sounds. I paid nearly as much for a fairly rough non dolls head 16 Trojan.

So, if the Trojan came out on the market in 1915, as Peter Johnson details in his 1959 book on the Parker Gun, that means through 1923, right? Then add 17 years to 1923 and I get 1940, right w/o the extension. Why would a prospective buyer prefer the first version with the small doll's head over the later version? Same design and metallurgy, right? If what you state is correct, and I am not saying that it isn't, then why doesn't Fjestad's Blue Book show a price differential for 1915 to 1923 produced Trojan guns over the later production Trojan guns. 'Splain that to me if you will, Boats. I prefer the later with the M21'ish flat faced breech, but one man's Chateau Briand is another man's horsemeat!!!
