as your looking down the gun, the gauge should be stamped on the left barrel back by the stock.
In August 2008, a Bannerman quaker Springfield musket with wooden barrel sold on eBay for $800.00, however the lock was stamped 1861 with an 1863 hammer attached. All other components on the quaker musket were original 1863 type fittings, except for an 1842 barrel band at the muzzle.
Is it just stamped on one peice of the gun? I have a 5100 12g and each section (Stock, forestock and barrel) are stamped with a number (8WGK) to identify that they go together, kind of like a serial number.

Manufactured sometime between 1920 and 1948.
THey were made by crescent firearm company.
It was madein the1930s by J Stevens Arms Springfield Mass. ( Crescent was bought out by them in 1932) and the name changed to Crescent - Davis. Value can range from 100. to 500. depending on condition.
My Springfield model 83 ( J Stevens) is stamped 22 Short, Long and Long Rifle on Barrel. If yours is as well, then yes, it would fire LR rounds.
Some guns cannot be dated due to lack of information. Yours is one.
Value depends on condition. Most likely not worth more than 125 USD. Can't help with age.
