Shotguns

We are going to assume you have the fairly recent import from American Arms in Missouri. Those 10ga doubles were made in Spain and will bring $400-$500 in top condition. sales@countrygunsmith.net

This site will explain how to strip your pistol.

Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works and J. Stevens Arms. It could be from Simonis, Janssen, Dumouliln and Co. if it is marked 'Machine Made Belgium Damascus Finish'.

Some were made by Harrington & Richardson.

Marlin.

The Ranger 103-1 O/U shotgun was Sears' name for the Marlin Model 90. Sears used the Ranger name prior to WWII and JC Higgins after WWII. The Ranger 103-xx and the Marlin model 90 were introduced in 1937.

WILTSHIRE ARMS CO was a tradename used by a New Orleans catalog/hardware store in the late 1800s. Shotguns with that name will either be Belgian in origin (look for the E over LG proofmarks under the barrels), or domestically made by Stevens.

Not a standard gauge in the US, although ammunition is still loaded in Europe. Some Italian and Spanish shotguns were imported in the 1970's.

i used to have a tecni-mec (rizzini company connection, Italy) o/u 24 gauge which i ordered directly from the company in Italy in 1990, sold it in 2001.

it was about 6.5 pounds, 27 inch barrels & i liked it a lot, even won some bets with it in bird hunting camps because people refused to believe it was really a 24 gauge. my best friend talked me out of it in 1991.

i am currently in the process of buying a falco (Italian also) sxs 24 gauge with about the same weight & barrel length as my old o/u.

the only ammo i know of is made by fiocchi & imported by fiocchi of America.

i know of loads with #5, #6, #7 & #8 shot sizes, 9/16 oz. in a 2 9/16" case & 2 drams of powder, about the same power wise as a low power 28 gauge.

i you could hand load for it & get 7/8oz of shot & 2 1/4 drams of powder you have a much more effective loading just like a light 20 gauge load.

tecni mec & falco are the only two companies currently building the 24 but i am pretty sure there are more in Italy, a country in love with small gauge shotguns.

Savage/Stevens.

No published sn data.

Less than $200.

Would need to know which specific model. "Silver Hawk" has been applied to several different series of Beretta shotgun.

Agree with the model and year as a Mark II Safari from 1996, but seeing these sell for about twice that much in excellent or new condition. A check of completed sales on Gunbroker shows $800-$1100

No published sn data. 100-500 USD or so

Either WH Davenport Arms Co or Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works.

Manufactured for Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlet & Co circa 1920-1950 by Davenport or Iver Johnson. Worth up to $75.

Depending on condition, a single shot might bring $50-$100 or a double barrel $150-$250.

Ruger made a Deerfield rifle, Ithaca made a Deerslayer shotgun.

Nobel made the Deerfield shotgun line until 1971. Very few parts available and what is available is through Numrich. Value would be something like 175 in very good condition due to the parts problem.

Mossberg bolt-action shotguns rarely sell for more than $140.

Would need to know the model number, which is numeric. Your best bet is to take the gun to a gunsmith and let him show you how to field strip the shotgun.

The Beretta AL series was made from 1969-1976. Value would be $250-$350.

Hopkins & Allen made a huge number of single-shot and double shotguns marketed under their name and also under private labels for various catalog stores. Value will be up to $100.

Hopkins and Allen took over the Forehand name in 1903 and continued until 1915.

In answering this question first I would like to say, I have got a W. S. Paragon 16 gauge full choke with a 28 inch barrel and I love it.The W S Paragon shotgun was manufactured by the { Baker Gun & Forging Co.founded in 1890. It was sold in 1919 to H&D Folsom Arm's Co of Norwich Conn.The Folsom Co.then made these for Baker Arm's Co. until around 1923.The later model Baker's were made by Crestcent Arm's and have a {F} suffix serial number.They manufactured over {2} dozen model's with one model being the {Paragon Grade}.If indeed this ID is correct on you'r gun,and in {Good Condition}, the gun would have a value of around {$1200.00}.This is what I found out from Mr.Sid Lark. He is well informed on the age and value of older gun's. You mite like to know that the {Paragon trade name was used by the {Prescoft Pistol Co.}, And {Baker Gun Co.on shotgun's.I hope this has been of help to you,if you would like to, you can get back to me at {DaytonaKid3@aol.com}, Good Luck.

Sorry don't have an answer, but I have one of these with the same model number. The closest I can find is that it was dated 1890-1910. Do you know any more about this gun? Who is the manufacturer? etc. Richard studeman@suddenlink.net

Made by Crescent Firearms Co for HSB & Co.

WH Davenport (1891-1910) and Crescent (1893-1932).
