Shotguns

The Excel trade name was used by Iver Johnson on single shot shotguns sold by Montgomery Ward c 1900 - 1950. Value depends on condition, but old singles seem to bring $50-$75 if they are fully functional. What do you mean by "what did it look like new?"? If it isn't broken or missing pieces, it looked like it does now except without the dents, dings, and scratches.

the "elg" means made in belgium after 1893. the 12 in a diamond means 12 gauge. The script AE and tower (le Perone) are also Belgian proof marks and the AF may stand for Auguste Francotte & Co, a gunmaker established in 1849 and still in business today.

Cherokee was a trade brand used by C.M. McClung & Co. a dealer located in Knoxville, TN c. 1880 to 1920 and probably later. What kind of a shotgun is it? Single shot, double barrel, bolt action, ??? Is there anything special about it? Fancy engraving, finely checkered stocks, bronze badge that says Wells Fargo Express Co, ??? And what condition is it in? New with the box and hangtags, broken rusted and missing parts, ???

The Stevens 335 was manufactured from about 1910-1940. There are very few documented Wells Fargo guns and those that have documentation are not conspicously marked with the company name. These were added by an unscrupulous antique dealer wishing to sell a $200 shotgun for $1000.

Most like this would go for $125-$150 as a mantle decoration. Since this Sears subsidiary only existed for about 10 years, there may be a bit of collector interest if it is in NRA Excellent condition.

This is like asking, "What's my car worth?" It cannot be answered without more information. Ask your question again with more detail. The prices of Browning shotguns vary greatly depending on the year it was manufactured, the condition it is in, the model, the gauge, and the type of action. over &under are the most pricey then auto loaders then pumps are the low end

Probably about $125-$150 as a mantle decoration.

This was a Savage 745C, a lighweight version of the Model 720 with a magazine that holds only 2 shells manufactured from 1940-1949. The Blue Book says the parent gun's value ranges from $110 for a well-used (60%) gun up to $275 in 100% like new condition. Trade-named guns usually bring 15-25% less than those marked with the manufacturer's name.

Importers' names were seldom marked on guns before it was required by the 1968 Gun Control Act, so I'd say it is no more than 35 years old. I believe 10.3 mm would be full and 10.7 mm modified choke measurements for a .410. I doubt if this is anything better than a field grade or utility shotgun, so if it is fully functional and retains 90% of the original finish, a .410 double should retail for close to $400 in most markets.

There are several versions of the Falconet, but eliminating those that were only available in 12 gauge, one with a silvered frame and two with case hardened frames, only one remains. The Falconet Field grade was manufactured from 1968 to 1975. Value in 60% is $360 and in 100% it is $550 according to the Blue Book.

Various versions of the 94 were made from 1926 to 1945. Stevens serial numbers were repeated, so exact dating is impossible.

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about W.H. Davenport single shot 10 gauge shot gun.. It looks very old and I cant find anything on it at all... Davenport Fire Arms was in operation from sometime in the 1870's up to WWI. In addition to guns marked with the company name they also made guns marked for various retailers. Their guns would be considered "utility shotguns", nothing fancy that attracts collectors, but good solid guns suitable to guard the hen house or put a rabbit in the pot. If well cared for they should still perform their function admirably, however they would not fare well with modern off-the-shelf ammunition as early ones would have been designed for black powder shells and even the later ones will probably have 2 9/16 chambers and should not be used with 2 3/4 inch shells even though they will go in. If tempted to fire one of these old guns, have it inspected by an experienced gunsmith and follow his recommendations regarding the ammunition.

Sometime between 1948 and 1991. If there is no serial number, then sometime between 1948 and 1968.

I'd like to be a little more specific on the date. I have the little circle with an "F" in it. Is there any better or closer date system? The Letter that is circled is a year code. A is 1949. B is 1950 and so on. I have the same year as you so yours is 1954.

Is there any other writing on the gun? Columbia was a trade name manufactured by the W.H.Davenport Co of Norwich, Ct, but I am not sure if they ever made a .410. There is little collector interest in single-shots and 2 1/2" shells are not available, so it will have little value. Since it was your grandfather's it should be priceless to you, but it would probably sell for $50-$75 today.

If the weapon is Westfield model its manufacture date would be between 1949-1968. The value of the Stevens 9400 is between $900-$1200.

The Remington Model 12 Sportsman came in semi-auto or pump configurations, and were made from 1984-1986 (vintage?). The auto is booked at $300 in 100% condition and $150 in 60%. The pump from $275 to 140. (Add 10% if it has Rem-chokes).

I too have a Ranger .410 sxs hamerless shotgun.

I believe it to be made by Stevens.

Possibly a model 311.

about 50.00 to 80.00 according condition

410 is a shotgun, not a rifle. And I can't find any H&R Model 1915, rifle, shotgun, or pistol, so that is probably a patent date. What type action does it have and are there any other markings?

The 410 Handy Gun is a pistol which fires 410 shotgun rounds. It is impossible to register and illegal from what I've been able to gather.

The Handy Gun is a .410 bore shotgun pistol manufactured by H&R. The Model 1915 was the successor to the Model 1905 shotgun line. The 410-12mm refers to the bore size simply in millimeters instead of inches. They were also marked 410-44 from 1916-1921. The 410-12mm marking was used between 1922-1936. If the gun is not already registered as a short barreled shotgun it will probably not be allowed and will most likely be confiscated by the BATF.

I have a standard Model 1915 myself.

Shotgun gauges are determined by the number of lead balls of a given diameter required to make one pound of that size ball. Thus 10 balls of 10 gauge diameter are required to make one pound of such balls, or 20 balls of 20 gauge diameter are required to make one pound, and so forth. This is the traditional, and very old, system. The actual (nominal) bore diameters of the various gauges are as follows: 10 gauge = .775 inch, 12 gauge = .729 inch, 16 gauge = .662 inch, 20 gauge = .615 inch, 28 gauge = .550 inch. The .410 is named for its nominal bore size, and is not a gauge at all.
