What are the exact markings on the shotgun? 3000 s30 42427 utica special
Guns marked "Utica Fire Arms Co. Pat. Nov 25,'09, March 29,'97" were made by Hopkins and Allen Mfg Co, 1868-1898. If your gun does not have these patent dates, it was probably made in Belgium, c. 1880-1914.
1890's.
100 USD or so
Probably no more than 100 USD depending on condition.
Check out gunshop.com,they got Lots of info on dbl barrel shotguns.
If it is marked "Utica Arms Co.", compare it to a Crescent Model 6 (1903-1930) or a J. Stevens Arms Co early Model 311 (after 1920). The Stevens might even be marked "5000", "5100" or "311" on the receiver. If marked "Utica Firearms Co." or "Utica Special" it should be the Crescent Model 6. Those marked "Utica Firearms Co. London Fluid Steel" are also by Crescent, but should have outside hammers and could date back to 1892, but probably made no later than 1914. With the mark "Utica Fire Arms Co. Pat. Nov. 25, '90, March 29, '97" it was made by Hopkins & Allen Mfg Co. (1868-1898, but the patent date would indicate these guns were made in 1897 and 1898) I'm not sure if these were single or double barrel guns. All were made for Simmons Hardware 1875-1940
50-100 USD or so
Crescent Firearms, J. Stevens Arms Co, Hopkins and Allen. The Utica name was a house-brand for Simmons Hardware, St Louis, 1875-1940.
I have 5 listings for Utica. Does it say "Utica Firearms Co. London Fluid Steel" or "Utica Fire Arms Co. Pat. Nov. 25, '90, March 29, '97"? The first of those would be a Crescent product made between 1892 and about 1914. The second by Hopkins & Allen, 1898-1915. If it says something else, it may be from another manufacturer. Simmons Hardware sold guns made by many firms. Crescent made hammerless sidelock guns for Simmons and probably also made hammer guns. Utica hammerless boxlock gun no. 34434 with "London Fluid Steel" barrels in my collection marked "Utica Fire Arms Co." with pat dates "Nov. 25, '90 and March 12, '91 or 97" was made by Hopkins & Allen. Hopkins and Allen also made an unusual sidelock gun with the locks set into the side of the action as opposed to being set into the wood. These were know as "iron frames".
Utica Firearms was a trade name used by the Simmons Hardware Company of St. Louis, Missouri on firearms they retailed circa 1900. It could have been manufactured by any of a dozen makers. Like any other 100-year-old tool or machine, parts are where you find them. You may be able to get parts that fit (or can be made to fit) from a local gunsmith or at a gunshow, but no one will have a catalog number for "Utica firing pins".
