There were some Shotguns Stamped Rev-O-Noc H.S.B. & CO. that were made by Hopkins & Allen. They were distributed/retailed by Hibbard Spencer Bartlett of St Louis, Mo. Rev-O-Noc shotguns made by Crescent were also distributed by Richards and Conover of Kansas City. They were also manufactured by Baker Gun and Forging Co and Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works. HSB & Co was in Chicago.
Made by the Crescent Firearms Co. If it is marked as AMERICAN GUN CO, it would be 1905-1922. If marked as CRESCENT FIREARMS is would be 1922-1930.
AFAIK, there is no published sn data on Crescent Arms.
I would try the numrich gun parts corp.They can be found on the web.
These shotguns would have a flaming bomb arsenal mark on the gun.They would also have United states property marked on the shotgun.
The "Special" designation on the shotgun likely refers to it being a higher-grade model with extra features or embellishments compared to standard versions. Its serial number 65438 indicates that it was produced by Crescent Firearms, a well-known manufacturer of firearms in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, specific details about the features of this particular shotgun would require further research or examination by a firearms expert.
Circa 1890-1930. Would have to have more information to get closer. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Depending on the condition and configuration, it would run from $100 to $250.
Trade name used by a hardware company in Pennsylvania. Actual manufacturer could be one of several such as Iver Johnson, Davenport, Stevens or Crescent. Any parts, including stocks, would undoubtedly have to be made and fitted.
Crescent was in business from 1892 to 1930. If it is a hammerless gun, it was not made before 1903. Value would be from $150-$250 and the Redhead recoil pad is an addon but it's not going to deduct anything from the value like it would on a high-end collectable.
No new parts would be available, but a competent gunsmith could probably make one.
Are you sure it doesn't say Genuine Armory Steel? That would make it a product of Crescent Fire Arms. There should be more markings if they haven't worn off.
REV-O-NOC shotguns were made by Crescent Firearms and distributed by HD Folsom to the HSB & CO hardware/catalog store. Your gun would have been made c.1880-1910, and value would be under $200. Please do not attempt to fire the gun.
