This very popular model became the Crescent "Peerless" No. 6 in 1922. In 1928 it became the Crescent "Empire" No. 60. and in 1931 the Crescent-Davis "New Empire" No. 88, "New Empire" No. 9, and "Empire" No. 9.

Less than $100, probably a lot less. If This gun is so old - how come its not worth much? *1. Millions of them were made. *2. It not all that old, just a little older than me. *3. They are utility guns, not fine handcrafted collectables. *4. You can buy a new single shot at Walmart for $79.95 - with a warrantee.
