Shotguns

The Spartan is manufactured for Remington in russia. I believe the company that makes them is Baikal. You'll probably have to order the choke tubes. Standard Rem-chokes won't work. Cabela's sells the choke tubes for the Remington Spartan Side-by-Side, also made by Baikal in Russia.

If gun is mint and never fired - then you could reasonably expect $1500 - $2000 auto5man

about 200 dollars

Answer This answer was borrowed from a thread on the GunBroker.com website. The answer was posted by a gentleman who is a collector of old shotguns. I do not claim authorship nor authoritative knowledge.

There were two "WH Hamilton" shotguns. From c.1875-1883 or so, the shotguns were imported from Belgium. They were external hammer shotguns of average quality for the time. In the early 1900s, Thomas Leary was an active importer of these guns, now made by Dumoulin with the WH Hamilton tradename. They were similar to the earlier ones, but with some engraving on the locks.

The WH Hamilton tradename was finished when Leary closed up in 1904. Dumoulin may have continued until the 1930s.

As you read so often in posts regarding these old guns, it is absolutely NOT safe to shoot with any type of modern ammunition.

12 gauge intro. in 1910 and in 1911 mr.ansley fox resigned ,the books i have show sterlingworth starts with a 50,000 serial #.ends with 161,556,if the serial # u gave is correct it says ur's should be an a-f grade,u can find out more info by contacting john t. callahan theres a 25 to 35 dollar charge but will be well worth checking out.the address is 53 old quarry rd.westfeild,ma 01085 send a good picture as well

This trade name was used by both Crescent Fire Arms and Iver Johnson. If it is a single shot, it will be worth $35 to $75, and if a double barrel shotgun, from $100 to $250, depending on condition.

Crescent Fire Arms Co. and Crescent-Davis Arms Corp. They made the gun with only Smithsonian stamped on it in both single & double barrel and in several gauges

Hopkins and Allen purchased Forehand Arms in 1902, so sometime between then and 1915 when the company closed.

Single shot? $25 to $75 depending on condition. Even less if it's a basket case and not much more if like-new. Double barrel? $100-$200. Same comments apply.

Valuing a Model 94 is similar to pricing used (or antique) cars. A five year old Chevy with only a few hundred miles on it will sell closer to the price of a new one than one with 100,000 miles even if both still look nearly new. And chosing between two 100K cars, the one that was garaged and had regular maintenance will bring much more than one with fading paint, torn seat covers, oil leaks, and crumpled fenders. With the serial number there are several sources to find out what year a Winchester was manufactured, but that is only the beginning of determining its value. Any firearm made before Midnight, 31 December 1898, is legally an antique in the US and that usually increases the value significantly. Winchesters made before 1964 are valued by collectors if they have a high percentage of original finish while newer ones and those with significant wear are valued for their usefulness. There are several general configurations of the 94: standard rifle, carbine, saddle-ring carbine, trapper carbine, etc., with round or octagonal barrels. Then there are special order features like non-standard barrel lengths or special sights. The 94 was chambered for a variety of cartridges and collectors will pay more for unusual ones but often less for obsolete chamberings for which ammunition is no longer available. Of course a shooter will have absolutely NO interest in a gun chambered for something like .44 rimfire as it would essentially be unusable. A collector will want a gun that has not been modified since it left the factory, and for a fee the Cody Museum will research the old records and give a letter stating the exact original configuration, when it was manufactured, and sometimes when and where it was shipped from the factory. Someone who wants to use the gun will be less concerned about its originality and any difference may be a plus for one and a minus to another. The primary concern to either a collector or a shooter will be the CONDITION. Any buyer will want the gun to be as close to new condition as possible.

About 125 for stop 95% Condition.......Do you want to sell?

Browning Choke Markings "* " = full "*- " = improved modified "** " = modified "**-" = improved cylinder "**$" = skeet "***" = cylinder

Actually, the key to manufacture date on your Remington Nylon 66 is not the serial number, but a stamping on the barrel. There will be two letters, the first being the month, and the second being the year. Here's a quick rundown. B=Jan L=Feb A=Mar C=Apr K=May P=Jun O=Jul W=Aug D=Sep E=Oct R=Nov X=Dec As you will note, this forms the acronym BLACKPOWDERX, which is easy to remember. The year codes are E-1958,F-1959,G-1960,H-1961,J-1962,K-1963,L-1964,M-1965,N-1966,P-1967,R-1968, S-1969,T-1970,U-1971,W-1972,X-1973,Y-1974,Z-1975,O-1977,Q-1978,V-1979,A-1980,B-1981,C-1982,D-1983, E-1984,F-1985,G-1986,H-1987,I-1988,J-1989,K-1990. Note that there are duplicates. Early guns had no serial number. Mid-production guns had no-prefix serial numbers. Later production guns had A-prefix serial numbers. Light or partial stampings can be confusing. View carefully with a magnifier. The two letters are right in front of the rear sight along the barrel on the left side of the barrel. If you have any questions or comments, you can e-mail me at paladin@outdrs.net. Hope this helps. John

What type? Superposed? B125? B27? Auto-5? There were several older models and even later models that were made in Belgium but assembled in either Portugal or the US... sales@countrygunsmith.net

Mossberg added the M-5500 model to their line in 1983. However, it was quickly taken off the market and was completely out of production by 1986. Supposedly it was a variant of Mossberg's M-500. The 5500 was designed for sporting and was relatively small (not suitable for combat). Mossberg later came out with a stockless version for self defense and for use in law enforcement called the Cruiser and a military combat model known as the Guardian. It is important to note that Mossberg's 5500 was a 12 gauge, not a 16 gauge shotgun.

Double barrel shotguns manufactured by Crescent Fire Arms and single shots by W.H. Davenport Firearms for Wallace hardware, Morristown, Indiana, c. 1900.

I see them here in the trading papers in West Virginia for around 300.00 in 65% condition.

The older brownings use an asterisk (*) or a set of them to determine the choke of the barrel. (one) * is Full, (Two) ** is Modified, and (three) *** is improved cylinder. This marking is usually located on the side of the barrel along the same line as the mfg's name. More complete answer BROWNING CHOKES AND THEIR CODES (ON REAR LEFT-SIDE OF BARREL) '*' designates full choke (F). '*-' designates improved modified choke (IM). '**' designates modified choke (M). '**-' designates improved cylinder choke (IC). '**$' designates skeet (SK). '***' designates cylinder bore (CYL).

that particular gun is worth retail on average between 100-200$

it seems that these shot guns are going for around $200 in good condition. although I feel that they could be worth more considering bolt action shot guns are becoming more popular again. hang on to it.

i have one marked the same.does yours have a "dolls head"type of action? that type was used by british makers.perhaps a book on british proof marks will help to identify the time and place of manufacture.i believe that with no collector value they only have use value.i am guessing $100 to $200.

First of all you have the "sportsman 48", "sportsman 58" and the "sportsman". If it is a plain sportsman it's value depending on it's condition is from 150 to 200 dollars.

$10.00

revelation shotguns were made by savage arms .they were named revelation purposely to be marketed by western auto stores .when western auto stores vanished in the late 70s early 80s so did the revelation shot guns .they were very good and inexpensive guns.
