Answer Crescent Arms New EmpireThe Crescent Fire Arms Co. started busness in the early 1890's, I believe, and lasted until the early 1930's. They are best known for making "house brand" guns which means they would put any name on a firearm you wanted if you bought enough of them. These firearms, although servicable, were generally not of the quality of the major manufactures. ie: Winchester, Remington, ect. The fact that they started busness when they did means that they were at the tail end of the black powder era and as such their early guns should probably not be shot with modern ammo. There were probably very few, if any, high grade guns made by Crescent Arms.

The only reference I have on a "New Empire" gun lists it as a .410 or 20 gauge shotgun with a 12 1/2" barrel. If this is so that makes this gun somewhat of an outlaw unless it is regestered with the ATF. I do not believe you can legally own a firearm of this nature without a federal license. That said, the firearm does have some collector interest. These "Auto and Burglar" type guns are quite rare and I'm sure a good condition one would command over well $1000 bucks with the value dropping as the condition drops. If it is not this firearm then it would, unless it is of musuem quality, be worth, even in good condition, no more than $200 to $300 on the used gun market. If it is an "Auto & Burglar" and you do not have a federal license (and I suspect you do not or you would not be asking this question) the legal issues involved if you were to sell it could be quite scarry. There are federally licensed dealers (not your local gun shop) who could assist you in this regard.
