They have a 12 1/4 inch barrel and what I read refered to them as a pistol. They are under special classification by the ATF. The law was specifically changed to cover this type of weapon and get them off the market.

How old is Essex guns?

There never was an Essex. The Essex shotgun was made by Crescent Arms for the Belknap Hardware Co of Louisville KY. Crescent made guns for just about any Hardware Co. (thus the name "Hardware gun)or retailers that wanted to have a shotgun made.Crescent made good quality, inexpensive side by side and single Bbl shotguns and was founded in 1883. They were bought by the H&D Folsom Arms Company of New York, importers and distributors of firearms and sporting goods.After the purchase of Crescent, the Folsom Company was able to offer a complete range of shotguns, imported English French, Belgium and American made Crescents. By the turn of the century Crescent Arms produced huge quantities of “Hardware Guns” it produced guns under direct contract to distributors, mail order housed and hardware distributors with any brand name the customer requested. Crescent also produced guns for its parent company, as Folsom house brands that were sold to customers that did not want their own brand name.By the late 1890's Crescent was producing basically five grade of dbl bbl shotguns offering a model for most tastes. The Crescent /Folsom Arms Company continued this type of business until 1930 when it merged with Davis Warner Arms Corp and became the Crescent-Davis Arms Corp. In 1932 they were bought by Stevens Arms Company.
