Crescent Firearms

$100-$250, depending on condition. Less if broken or rusted, a little more if absolutely like new.

Delphian Arms Co shotguns distributed H&D Folsom Sporting Goods were either manufactured by Crescent Arms Co (Norwich, CN, 1892-1931) or imported from Belgium. The same name was also used by Supplee-Biddle Hardware on Fulton Model shotguns manufactured by Hunter Arms Co. (Fulton, NY, 1890-1945).

I saw the same model for auction, the winning bid was for $80.00. Mt friend has one for sale, he is asking $100.00 with a box of shells. Hope this helps. Michael

I have a 12 Ga. sitting here saying springfield manufactured by J. Stevens arms company. If that helps ya any. It's a single shot that's really short with no searial number or model number.

How old is it an what condition is it in?

$150-$400 (only goes that high if you can find a buyer who thinks a 410 is worth more than a larger gauge) I disagree. Depending on condition, older double barrels, even off brand ones, command a premium the smaller the gauge. Stevens 311A's in excellent condition are going for $400-$700 range. The Crescent Quail Hammerless would start at these prices and go higher. The Hammerless Quail with checkered walnut and splinter forend would begin at the $700 range if in 90-95% condition. Alot depends on the local market. In the southeast, .410 SxSs are going for high dollars.

You will have to contact the importer

I have a model 46 .22 5 inch in excellent shape given to me by my father who bought it new probably 40 years ago. Gun traders guide lists it at aout $500 in perfect shape. The model 41 is a bit more being furnished with walnut stocks. I added wa,nut to mine, as it camr with plastic from the factory. They are both great target pistols and I suggest you hang on to it.

You would probably have to have a set manufactured because replacements are not available. You can try: Numerich gunpartscorp.com

Bob's Gun Shop gun-parts.com If they don't have anything, the cost of manufacture will far exceed the value of the gun.

The patent for Newport Model CN double barrell shotgun is 1915, but Newport was a named given to guns made by J Stevens, Ivers Johnson, and Crescent Arms. So most likely it was made in the early to mid 1900's.

Crescent Firearms of Norwich CT was a prolific maker of inexpensive firearms, known as "hardware guns"- Order 10 of the same gun, we'll put the name of your hardware store on it. They began in 1892, were bought by H&D Folsom of NYC, which was bought by the J. Stevens Arms division of Savage in about 1930. Value of your rifle will be driven by the condition, but is likely not extremely high, probably in the $75-$140 range. The date is not the date of manufacture, but a patent date.

Pioneer Arms double barrel shotguns were made by Crescent Fire Arms Company of Norwich, Conn, sometime between 1892 and about 1940. Crescent made thousands of these shotguns with many different brand names for individual hardware stores to sell. Pioneer Arms were made for the Kruse and Baklmann Hardware Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio.

If there are foreigh proof marks on the gun then it was probably made in Russia.

I have been looking for a 12 gauge Witte shotgun. Not sure what they are worth. Do you have one for sale?

That's a Savage or Stevens model number, but it won't tell us the gauge. Any firearms dealer should be able to tell you the gauge by looking at the gun (unless it is a really unusual size) but a gunsmith can measaure the chambers and also tell you the length of shells it is supposed to use.

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."
