How do you value a JC Higgins bolt action 20 gauge purchased in the late 50's if it was stolen and you have no model or serial number?

Firearms made before the 1968 Gun Control Act were not required to have a serial number- most of the Sears/ JC Higgins did not. Most of the bolt action 20 from Sears have a value of ABOUT $100 or so, depending on condition, bells and whistles, etc. You may want to talk with your insurance carrier- especially of you have replacement cost coverage- and come to an agreement with your carrier of buying a replacement gun of LIKE QUALITY- even if it is not the exact same gun. Take at look at the shotguns offered for sale at a couple of the internet auction sites- www.auctionarms.com, and www.gunbroker.com- you may find a photo of one that looks like yours, and can give you a better feel for pricing. When talking to your insurance company, remember that you may have to pay SHIPPING, and may have to pay a BACKGROUND CHECK fee when replacing your gun. Here in VA its only a couple of bucks, in some states, it may be $25 or so. Good luck

Actually, yes it is. Before 1969 many firearms had no serial numbers. I have two different models of JC Higgins bolt action shotguns made in the 50's and neither have serial numbers. Strange but true!
How can you get the serial number for a JC Higgins bolt action clip feed that was stolen?
You should written it down when you bought it. If you bought it from a dealer in the past few years, he should have recorded the serial number in his "bound book" when you purchased it and may be able to find it (but he certainly won't want to dig out his old records, so you should at least know when you bought it).
