Crescent Firearms

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.

H.G. Wells' first novel was "The Time Machine," published in 1895. This science fiction classic follows the adventures of a time traveler who journeys far into the future.

Queen Elizabeth II.

Crescent Firearms Co. Meriden and Norwich, Connecticut.

Circa 1890s-1930s. Acquired by H.D. Folsom Arms Company.Circa 1893. Eventually absorbed by j. Stevens Arms & Tool company, Massachusetts. Circa 1932. Manufacturers of large quantities of low and medium priced shotguns under their own house and various trade names. Basic single shot- about $65. Unfortunately all records destroyed in the 1930s. Sorry-

Ejector nozzles are used in jet engines. They are the simpler of the nozzles used and are more conventional that iris nozzles. Ejector nozzles are part of a group that includes ejector, iris, rocket, and low-ratio nozzles.

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.

Value of any gun is based on exact make, model and condition- without all 3, we can't even get in the ballpark for an answer. The Baker Gun company made a side by side under the Leader name, but values vary depending on damascus or steel barrels. Sorry, but you need to visit a gun shop or gun show for a hands-on appraisal of your sshotgun. Please note- EARLY 16 g guns did NOT fire the 2 3/4 inch shells in use today, and are dangerous if they are fired. EVEN IF AN UNFIRED SHELL FITS.

Without seeing it, I would guess that the antique value is nonexistant. The name "Danial Boone" is unrelated to the American frontiersman and is only there to sell the shotgun. It is possible that the gun is American manufacture (Crescent City made thousands of inexpensive shotguns with every name brand you could imagine) or it could be a Spanish or Belgian shotgun. In any case, it is not a Purdy or Winchester or other brand which would command "antique" value. If the gun functions, it would be considered a field piece and could be worth a few hundred dollars. If it is worn out, it is a wall hanger and would not be worth the cost of restoration.

It was never documented when Crescent Firearms made these single shot .410 gauge shotguns.It should be noted that these shotguns were made with a 12in.barrel.Under today,s laws these short barreled single shot shotguns are considered illegal if they were not registered with BATFE and be subject to seizure.

Yes.

From the FN site: "it has 10 or 20 round capacity."

The Crescent 60 double barrel 16 gauge shotgun was manufactured by Crescent Firearms Company, which operated from the late 19th century until the 1930s. Specifically, the Crescent 60 model was produced primarily during the 1920s. These shotguns were known for their affordability and were popular among hunters and sport shooters of that era.

We just bought a Crescent Firearms 20 gauge single shot at an auction in Walterboro, SC (outside Charleston) for $95 and from what I understand, it's not worth any more than that in great shape. I've done some research online about it and looks as though you will only be able to get parts made by a good gunsmith. The parts are no longer available.

The value of a crescent double barrel .410 gauge shotgun, particularly one made by Crescent Firearms in Norwich, Connecticut, can vary significantly based on its condition, engraving quality, and historical significance. Generally, these shotguns can range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars, with well-preserved and intricately engraved examples fetching higher prices. For a precise valuation, it's recommended to consult a firearms appraiser or check recent sales of similar models.

Regular style...plain wood stock...bluing etc....anywhere from 25 bucks to 175-200 bucks. It's all about condition.

Seldom exceed 100 USD

Your shotgun was actually made by the crescent firearms company,and distributed by H&D Folsum Co.These shotguns are currently priced at between 140-240 dollars,whether they have a hammer or hammerless configuration,and whether they have a damascus,or steel barrels.These shotguns were made roughly between the years 1895-1925.

Sorry- these have been out of production for a LONG time- the largest source of used parts for these is probably gunpartscorp, and THEY are out of forearms and stocks for Victors. These were not high dollar guns when new- parts may cost you more than a complete gun is worth. You can check with some of the gun forums, and check gun shows in your area for used parts that you can use. Wish I had a better answer, but sometimes parts are just no longer available.
