When were Hercules double barrel shotguns made?

Turn of the century + a few decades.

I have two 1878 Jas Parker & Sons double barrel shotguns.

Many manufacturers manufacture double barrel shotguns in either a side by side (SxS) or Over/Under configuration. double barrel was made on July 1 1875 in England. by westley Richards co. it is a hammerless 12 guage

You have one of only 2,000 model 335 savage shotguns made.These shotguns were made from 1926-1935.

Over the past 100 years, many makers have made double barrel 410 shotguns. Provide a detailed description of ALL markings, barrel length, finish,etc., and some one might be able to help you.

Chances are that your forehand double barrel was made by Crescent Firearms Co.These shotguns will bring between 50-150 dollars depending on condition,and a good set of bores.

Greener is one. There are dozens of others.

Crescent Fire Arms Co. and Crescent-Davis Arms Corp. They made the gun with only Smithsonian stamped on it in both single & double barrel and in several gauges

New empire was one of the miriad of brand names used by the Crescent Fire Arms Company of Norwich, Ct. between 1892 and about 1922. They manufactured good quality, inexpensive single and double barrel shotguns for field use.

I can say that J.C.Higgins was the name used to signify Sears & Roebuck firearms from 1942-1962.I would assume that your double barrel shotgun was made during this time span.

I have a circa 1874 W.W. Greener double barrel shotgun. It was made in Birmingham England. It has double hammers with nice engraving. Greener shotguns are still produced today but in limited numbers.

The markings on the receiver and barrel will tell.

Savage/Stevens Model 5000 very much a model 311

William Parkhurst, located in Bristol, England circa 1920. made sidexside shotguns, but no details on file..............

Riverside shotguns were made by Stevens. I'm not sure when they started and stopped using this name, but the Riverside hammergun should be the Model 215 which was produced from 1913-1932.

AYA, out of Spain, made some SXS shotguns with Revel on the receivers. I own one in .410 and it was a very beautifully made double barrel. It has hand select walnut wood and waqs finely finished.

Cornell Firearms Company was a trade name used by Hopkins and Allen Arms Company on hammerless shotguns. They made these shotguns from 1902 to 1916.

Hopkins and Allen made double barrel shotguns from 1902-1909,they made single shots from 1887 to the early 1900,s.they also made the 38xl and 44xl drop block shotguns from 1890,s thru 1914.

All of Gambles shotguns were made by Savage arms Company with the exception being the model GU-12-5517A which was made by J.C.Higgins.

If there is a serial number, it should be conspicously marked on the receiver. Shotguns and small caliber rifles did not require serial numbers before 1968, so many do not have one. If it is a break-action single shot or double barrel, there may be additional markings on the bottom of the barrel(s) and on the flat parts of the action that the barrel covers when the it is closed. The Hercules brand name was used by Montgomery Ward on guns made by Iver Johnson and J. Stevens.

There is not a lot of information available on these shotguns. They were made in the early 1900's and in excellent condition can sell for $5000 or more.

The case is fitted for the BSS line of double barrel shotguns made by Browning. It will fit other double guns as well.

Pioneer Arms double barrel shotguns were made by Crescent Fire Arms Company of Norwich, Conn, sometime between 1892 and about 1940. Crescent made thousands of these shotguns with many different brand names for individual hardware stores to sell. Pioneer Arms were made for the Kruse and Baklmann Hardware Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio. If there are foreigh proof marks on the gun then it was probably made in Russia.

Hercules" was the trade name used by the Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works on shotguns made for the Montgomery Ward Co. Of Chicago.

It's really a Stevens model 94. Hercules was a Montgomery Ward brand name. Hercules was made by Iver Johnson from 1918-1943. I have a Montgomery Ward Hercules 16 ga. double. Does anyone know who made it. There are no brand or model numbers.SN X76777
