"NITRO HUNTER" was one of the many brand names used by the HD Folsom Company. They were major distributors of shotguns to the various hardware/catalog stores in the 19th and early 20th century. HD Folsom absorbed Crescent Firearms Company and Crescent became the in-house manufacturer for this type of gun, but HD Folsom also sold products made by Hopkins & Allen, H&R, Iver Johnson, etc. Your particular shotgun was made by Crescent and distributed by HD Folsom to Belknap Hardware in Louisville KY sometime between 1902 and 1930. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Not a whole lot. 'Nitro Hunter' was a tradename used by the Belknap Hardware Co on shotguns they retailed through their mailorder catalog from c.1890-1930. These were distributed by H&D Folsom, and were probably actually made by Crescent Firearms which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Folsom. They have no collector interest, and routinely sell under $100. www.countrygunsmith.net
