You can find information about a Mississippi Valley Arms Co shotgun by conducting research in historical firearm catalogs, gun collector forums, and specialized firearm reference books. Additionally, contacting antique gun dealers or gunsmiths who specialize in vintage firearms may provide valuable insights into the history and specifications of the shotgun. It's important to cross-reference information from multiple sources to ensure accuracy and completeness when researching a specific firearm model.

The value of a 12 gauge Crescent Arms Victor Special single shot shotgun can vary depending on its condition, rarity, and any additional features it may have. In general, these shotguns can range in value from $100 to $500 or more, with factors such as originality and historical significance playing a role in determining the final price. It is recommended to have the shotgun appraised by a professional gun appraiser or firearms expert to get an accurate assessment of its value.

Well, honey, the value of an Enders Royal American shotgun can vary depending on its condition, rarity, and any additional features. I ain't no psychic, so I can't give you an exact price without more details. Your best bet is to have it appraised by a professional to get a more accurate estimate.

My understanding is that Enders Royal Service shotguns were made by Cresent Fire Arms in Norwich Conn. Cresent was part of the H & D Folsom Arms Co. and Folsom Arms did import shotguns fron Belgian, so maybe I'm wrong. Assuming this gun was proofed for smokless powder the Belgian proof would be a standing lion with PV underneath. It should also note the guage (in this case 12) and the length of the chambers in millimeters, such as 12-70. U.S. made guns do not require a proof mark.

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.

Victor Special was the Trade Brand Name used by Crescent Fire Arms Co. and distributed/retailed by Hibbard Spencer Bartlett of St Louis, Mo. Was headquartered in Chicago. Probably had an outlet in St Louis.

The value of a Victor Sarasqueta 12 gauge side by side shotgun can vary depending on its condition, age, and any unique features it may have. However, they are generally valued between $500 to $2000. It is recommended to have the shotgun appraised by a professional to get an accurate value.

Henry Arms Co. was a name used on shotguns distributed by H&D Folsom c. 1900. It may have been manufactured by Crescent Firearms, Meriden, CT, or it may have been imported from a Belgian maker. No relation to the famous Henry Repeating Rifles which were the forerunners of the Winchester lever actions. Value is something less than $200 unless it is in like-new condition.

A single shot would bring less than $79. That's what a new utility single shot sells for. Even though yours may be old, there is no collector interest.

That should be a shotgun, and it will shoot 12 gauge shotshells or slugs, available at any sporting goods store and most department stores. You should check with a gunsmith to determine chamber size. It may also be marked on the barrels, or underneath them, as to chamber length. Some older 12 gauge take shells that are 2-9/16" long. Most modern ones are 2-3/4", and some will take 3". Each length chamber will take any shorter length shell as well.
