Crescent was literally the generic "hardware gun" made under many different names for many different compaines. I got the following from Gun Broker.com "Crescent Firearms Co. was started in 1888 by George W. Cilley when he bought out the defunct Bacon Arms Co. of Norwich, Connecticut. Cilley formed a partnership with Frank Foster and Crescent was born. Both men held firearms patents, and both were qualified to design and manufacture firearms. They began making a tip-up single with external side hammers, and began making SxS's in 1891. Crescent was best known for producing "house brand" shotguns. These were made for and sold by a variety of hardware companies, mail order stores, retailers and distributors. Nearly 100 names are known or thought to have been used on shotguns produced by Crescent. In 1929 N. R. Davis Firearms Co. merged with Crescent to become Davis-Crescent Arms Co. H & D Folsom was a New York importer and distributor of firearms from about 1890 to 1930, at which time they merged with the Davis-Crescent Arms Co. In 1931 the depression forced the sale of Davis-Crescent to the Stevens Arms Co., which assembled the remaining parts and sold them under the Stevens name. (Another version of the history has Crescent sold to Universal Tackle and Sporting Goods Co. in 1954)

It is not known whether Crescent produced any high grade shotguns, but certainly the house brand shotguns were utilitarian and unadorned. Most sold in the range of $10-$12. Today, only a handful of models, such as the New Empire and the Crescent Certified have collector value. The vast majority are sold as shooters or wall hangers for modest prices, usually under $250."

If your husband is convicted of a federal felony can you own a firearm?

You are not prohibited from owning firearms. However, there's a classic Catch-22 here - a convicted felon is not only prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms, but also from having access to them. If you have one in the home, whether it's kept locked up or not, he will be considered to have access to firearms.


Can I get my husband off my auto insurance policy if we are separating but he lives in my house for now?

If the policy was purchased by you and is in your name, you can ask for him to be removed by writing to the insurer at any time. If was not purchased by you and in your name, then only the person who purchased the policy can ask for changes to it.


Can the wife of an ex felon own a gun?

That depends on the use of "ex-felon". If the husband was a convicted felon whose conviction was later overturned and their sentence reversed, then the husband is no longer a felon - that is an ex-felon. If the husband is a convicted felon who simply completed his sentence, that is not an ex-felon - that is a felon.In either case, the wife retains the right to own a firearm. However, doing so in the case of a felon husband may send her husband right back to prison - under federal law, a felon may not purchase, possess, or be given access to firearms. Having a firearm in the same home can be considered allowing a felon access to firearms, even if kept in a gun safe.


Do you need a warrant to search and seize firearms in a domestic violence offence if the wife says there is and the husband says there is not?

Do you need to get a permit in Texas my name if the gun was purchased by your husband who is now dead?

Texas does not require a permit to own a firearm (carrying concealed is another matter) and there is no registration of ordinary rifles, shotguns, or handguns. Certain firearms such as machineguns, sawed off shotguns, etc DO require registration with the Federal government. If you need specific information, you may contact me through my message board here.


If your husband is a ex felon can you have a gun?

Provided you do not have a felony conviction and only your husband does, there is nothing preventing you from owning a gun. Keep in mind though that the interpretation many law enforcement agencies and prosecutors have of felony firearms possession laws is very loose, and if for some reason your husband is found by LEO's to be in close proximity to your gun, he could be charged.
