J C Higgins Firearms

If it has both the Stevens and Savage names it was made sometime after the mid 1940's. If it has no serial number, it was made before 1969.

1950's through the early 1970's.

A fully functional utility double-barrel shotgun should sell between $150 and $250, depending on condition. Being a 16 gauge will increase the value a bit in some areas of the country and reduce it in other places.

There should be an assembly date code on the barrel just forward of the receiver in thr form of two upper case letters.

The code/date chart can be found at http://www.histandard.info/datapublic/serial/HIGH%20STANDARD%20DATE%20CODE.pdf

The Springfield shotgun made by "Savage Arms" company of Westfield Mass. the Model 67F is a slide action (pump) gun it came in several sizes 410, 16, 12 gauge ect. I purchased mine in about 1963 "new" in 410 gauge chambered with 3" shells On Gunbroker.com one jsut sold for $250.00. I've seen them for sale up to $275.00 For more information check up Savage Arms Corporation

It should fit , you may have to do some fine tuning . If you look atNumrich gun parts site the mag order # is the same for both guns

* Rifle was made by marlin for sears in the late 50s worth between 50 and 100 dollars * According to oldguns.net #6052 The J.C. Higgins model#103.18 22cal. is worth $45-$75. (I would have thought more). It was manufactured by Marlin from 1936 to 1941 as their model 100. Also it is suggested that because this firearm bears the Sears brand name instead of Marlin will make it more difficult to sell. I myself have one of these bought new in the early 1950's for my father, it still shoots very good for a 22 short. * Correction to previous answer it was bought new from Sears in Ga. in 1940 for $8.00 and my grandfather still had the sales receipt on till his death in 1985. Old guns are still better with REAL wood stocks. * Well, my J C Higgins 103.18 .22 rifle was at the family farm near Marietta for 30 years as the plinker of choice for all the visiting kids, grandkids, and ggkids - and when I retrieved it 15 years ago, it was in terrible shape and wouldn't fire - springs rusted, stock dinged, and missing part of the sights. I was crushed, but thank God but the bore was still OK. The rifle cost $12 from the Sears Christmas catalog in 1951 when I was 11. It was my constant after-school companion. I could make a 51 cent box of shorts last a month. After a COMPLETE dis-assembly, I spent 2 weeks fine steel-wooling all the bluing and rust off of it down to bare metal, and refinishing the stock. I then spent $200 to have it professionally prepared, re-blued, and highly buffed to its original appearance, and another $50 in rare gun parts so I could replace the sights and the hammer and rebound springs - it now works and shoots perfectly again. In 1951, it was the most prized of all (the only one then) of my material possesions - and it still is. My 10 year old grandson and I shoot it from time to time and my hands still know every curve of that rifle. Every sound of operating the bolt and cocking the hammer brings forth a flood of vivid boyhood memories. How much is a J C Higgins 103.18 worth? Mine is priceless.

$200-$250

Just about any economy single-shot shotgun, including yours, would top out at $100.

The sears model 6c-22 was made Winchester/ same as Winchester model#490

Those were made in the late 1950's, and bring around $140. 1958 or 1959 through 1963

Savage/Stevens doubles in .410 are enjoying a great market. In very good or better condition they are easily selling for $500-plus. In beater condition they are STILL bringing $300. sales@countrygunsmith.net

We have them. gunshop@nctv.com

Even Sears & Roebuck did and never did make guns, theirs and JC Higins were made by Remenington No. JC Higgins was just a brand name used by Sears Roebuck on guns made by Stevens, Mossberg, and other manufacturers. The same companies made the same guns for the Gambles hardware chain, so there are identical models marked with different retailers' names.

It was most likely built by Harrington and Richardson for sears from 1945-1955. It should fetch from $60-$100 depending on condition.

JC Higgins Model 60 shotguns generally trade in the $150-$200 range. www.countrygunsmith.net

A lot depends on condition. Also there were several different barrel legnths---which affects value. Never the lees a pistol as you describe would be in that $125 plus some for the 91/2 inch model .

1950

Impossible to answer without the owner's manual

Sears trade name is strike one. Bolt action is strike two. Value will start around $25 and may go as high as $100 if it is like new.

Hi, My name is Jeff Ford. I hope This helps you a little bit. John Higgins started working for Sears in 1898. Sears thought of a catch phrase for his name since he didn't have a middle initial they added a "C" with his permission hinse The brand Name "JC HIGGINS" I have a model 20 12 GUAGE pump with the interchangeable 3 choke set. I found that a company named HIGH STANDARD maufactuard the guns for sears. You can e-mail them at info@highstandard.com. I hope this helps you out. Jeff Ford

I believe it is so you can fire it as a one shot it keeps the next shell from coming out of the tube, you can load another shell by hand.... You are absolutely correct! Not all Mod 20's have that selector but that is what it is for. It prevents another shell from loading into the chamber when the action is moved.

Try numrich gunparts, type numrichgp into google, usually they have a lot of parts for such guns.
