Sears Roebuck Firearms

I have a shot gun exactly like the one you described and until I saw your question thought that it was once owned by a person named W.C. Kenworthey. I will stop looking for him now. I did find out that the gun can not tolerate modern gun powder and should not be used. Below is some of the additional information I found on the web.

Were can you find the value of a Belgium-made double barrel shotgun by Russell Arms Co that has Twist Belgium on barrel and engraved deer with hounds on the butt plate?

Answer

Made by F. Dumoulin & Co c. 1894 - 1930, but most likely prior to 1900 or so with the twist barrels and certainly before 1914 when WWI shut off imports of European arms. It has no value as a hunting arm since it was not designed for modern ammunition and little value as a collectable since literally millions of similar shotguns were imported. It can bring from $150 to $250 as a mantle decoration.

Origin of 12 gauge external double hammer double trigger side by side shotgun marked Criterion and Wyeth on left The Interchangeable on right and Twist Belgium on the barrel web with serial 1732?

Answer

Made in Belgium between 1885 and 1905 by Dumoulin and imported specifically for the Wyeth Hardware Co of St Joseph MO, who sold it via catalog sales.

Belgian Best Shotguns

By Chuck Hawks

Let's start by reviewing the definition of "best gun": As used here, best gun means a double-barreled shotgun of the highest quality. One of those few shotguns intended to compete in the marketplace primarily on the basis of quality, design, workmanship and finish rather than just price. A best gun is intended to be competitive with the best that any other shop can build. Most best guns are decorated with engraving, fine line hand checkering, etc. and they are usually available with different levels of adornment. Best guns are typically bespoke guns, or are at least available as bespoke guns.

Liege, Belgium has been a gunmaking center for centuries. The Liege proof house was established in 1672 and it is the oldest European proof house still in operation. Since the evolution of the modern side-by-side and over/under hammerless shotguns in the late 19th Century, Belgian gunmakers have turned out some of the best.

Today Belgian made guns have a deservedly high reputation, but this was not always the case. From the late 1800's through the decade immediately following the Great War (W.W. I), in addition to best guns, a great number of relatively low grade guns and also double gun barrels were manufactured in Belgium. (This was much the same situation as occurred with Spanish guns in the decades immediately following W.W. II.) Belgian twist barrels, especially, were viewed with suspicion, sometimes with good reason. American high grade guns, for example, usually came with British, German, or American made barrels. Only lessor quality American guns were made in Belgium or supplied with Belgian barrels and large numbers of cheaply made private label (house brand) shotguns were imported from Belgium. In the 1930's this situation slowly improved.

I received a model 41 for Christmas in 1959. I believe my Dad payed $12 for it from our local Sears store. I still have it today. Still shoots accurately. This Christmas (2009) it will be 50 years old!

JC Higgins was a brand name used by Sears & Roebuck for most of their sporting goods line from about the 30's. The JC Higgins line of firearms are made by High Standard and are considered obsolete now, though you will find a lot of them in great condition and are great shooters. You may be able to run the serial number through High Standard and find the manufacture date. Most were made from about 1950 up to about 1965.

20-60 USD or so

Sears did sell water skis but did not make them. Most were JC Higggins brand skis.
