Typical Crescent single-barrel shotgun. I have a good supply of parts. sales@countrygunsmith.net
There are a lot of possibilities here. Does the other barrel fire if you set the trigger for the other barrel? If so, you may be holding the shotgun too loose, away from your shoulder, or have too much padding on. The Baikal in ejector mode has to, upon firing, trip the ejector sear. If you hold the firearm too loosely, the ejector sear will not trip and the next barrel will not fire.
No published sn data.
You would be best off if you took the shotgun to a gunsmith.
Empire Arms was a trade name sold by Sears Roebuck. If it has the Crescent name on it, it would date from about 1893 to 1930. If it has open hammers and damascus barrels, it is more likely to be an early gun. Hammerless guns and fluid steel barrels were introduced about 1907, but sidehammer guns were not discontinued.
It would be somewhere between 1893 and 1930.
A shotgun barrel with a cylinder bore choke.
Check to see if you have a firing pin stuck forward and the ejector is hitting it. If it is a "cock on close" hammerless, you could have something in the cocking mechanism jammed.
