Shotguns

With the recent demise (again) of Ithaca, there has been a slight upward trend in the older models including the 66. If in very good condition, $100-$150. sales@countrygunsmith.net

About $75-$100. The .410 brings more than the larger gauges in the single-shot Stevens brand. sales@countrygunsmith.net

What are the markings on the gun? sales@countrygunsmith.net

Belgian shotguns marked 'T Parker' were imported c.1880-1910 for sale through the various mail-order and catalog hardware stores. The play on the name was intentional, designed to fool unwitting buyers into believing this was a Parker Brothers shotgun (it is not). Similar markings include 'Sam Holt' (Colt) and 'W Richards' (Westley Richards). There was a 'Thomas Parker' who was a gunbuilder in England, but his guns are specifically marked as such and would not have the laminated Belgian barrels.

The gun has no real collector value, although there are a few of us who study the old hardware-store guns. Value is merely whatever someone would pay for something to go over the fireplace, and although we see these marked at $250 consistently we also see them consistently not selling for that. $150-$200 if in Very Good shape is more realistic.

Please do not attempt to shoot the shotgun. As well as being 100 years old (at least), it was never designed for the pressure curve of smokeless powder and any modern ammunition is very liable to separate those barrels and cause injury.

Early 1900's, from 1900-1920 or thereabouts. Value depends on condition. Low of $20 for a parts gun, high of $100 for top condition. sales@countrygunsmith.net

There weasn't actually an American Gun Co of NY. It was a trade name used by H&D Folsom Sporting Goods on guns imported from Belgium or made by Crescent Fire Arms. The Victor was a Crescent shotgun. These would have been made between 1893 and 1930 or 32. If it is a double barrel with laminated barrels and side hammers it was probably (but not definitely) made prior to about 1915 and should be retired. If it is hammerless with fluid steel barrels, it was made no earlier than 1903 and could possibly still be used with low pressure shells if a competent gunsmith examines it and approves. Either would be worth $100 - $200 depending on condition. There was also a single shot Victor which would have a centered outside hammer and fluid steel barrels. If the gunsmith approves this could be used with appropriate ammunition but to be worth more than about $75 it would have to look like it just came out of the factory yesterday.

We've got them. sales@countrygunsmith.net

I dont have that specific model number listed, but the 102 prefix generally denotes Savage/Stevens.

I dont know of a particular serial number breakdown for the Savage Model 29. A good rule of thumb for that model is that octagon barrels are pre-WW2, round barrels after. Value is based on condition. Without knowing that, figure on a low of $50 for a parts gun to $300 for an excellent example. sales@countrygunsmith.net

These single-barrel Crescent shotguns range from < $50 as a parts gun, to maybe $100 if in excellent shape.

You dont give us a whole lot of description, but lets assume you have a double-barrel shotgun with external hammers. That would be the Ithaca 'Baker Model' and was one of their first models put to market. There were several grades offered, although the A and B grades are by far more commonly seen (they were the less expensive grades and far more were sold). The gun was made from 1883 to 1887 when it was replaced by the 'New Ithaca Gun' hammer shotgun. Value, again assuming Grade A or B, depends on condition. As little as $100-$150 for a well-worn parts gun up to $1000 for a really nice high condition piece. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Hard to tell the age on these - there isn't a serial number chart I'm aware of and there's just no collector interest in these guns. Figure 1970's, probably. Value is whatever someone will pay for a shooter-grade single-shot 20ga. Probably in the neighborhood of $50-$80.

I believe that King Nitro was a model name of Shapleigh Arms Co, St. Louis, MO.

Diamond Arms was a trade name used by Shapleigh Hardware Co of St Louis from the late 1800s to about 1950. The guns were made by G. B. Crandall, Harrington & Richardson, Hopkins & Allen Arms, J. Stevens Arms Co, and probably a few others. A 410 single shot is most likely a Stevens product. If that statement about one piece barrel actually says "barrel and lug forged in one piece" it is a Stevens. If it says "barrel and lug forged in one" (exactly the same except no "piece") it is by Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works.

Ranging in price from $100 to $300, depending on condition. Ranging in price from $100 to $300, depending on condition.

I can't help you with the age, however a source for single shot shotgun forestocks can usually be obtained at http://www.e-gunparts.com/ Good luck The Victor Ejector was manufactured by Crescent Fire Arms, 1893-1932. American Gun Co was a house brand for H&D Folsom, a wholesale/retail sporting goods company of New York.

Where is serial number on stevens 311c 410?

Many gunsmiths will have one or two in the back room, or you can order from Numrich Gun Parts at the related link.

I WONDERERED THAT MYSELF RECENTLY- Just picked one up in great used condition- not so fine that I'm temted to put it away, but still very Cherry, for a cool $375!!. To see what a firearm goes for in the REAL World, it is VERY Helpful to consult the web to pin down the exact Model ( mine came with the booklet, fortunately) and is Model 700, Over & Under; also in 20 ga. Miroku is an old & totally repected outfit, world class shotguns! They were Imported by Anshutz, Charles Daly, & Now..Browning- Mine is Only Marked 'MIROKU'. As all items go, the value depends on Condition, Location, and in this case-Model, Markings, & GUAGE. 12's are usually most common in most Makes, So a 20 is a +. Also Barrel Length, and Choke may matter to a buyer. 12's were made on a larger frame, with other guages on their medium frame (some rarer .28's were made on a smaller size yet).Most Miroku Shotguns are priced from About $700 + ( Usually around $1000....Or HIGHER!!) It's worth what the buyer will fork over- But is a fine gun to any real shotgunner anywhere- In the REAL world...Might wanna shop for e set of springs (Wisner's Gun Parts) and make sure you'll be able to shoot it IF it breaks one...OR if you are not a shotgunner- It otta Be EZ to find a Great Gun like the Miroku a Great Home with a new owner. I had a Belgian made Browning Superposed when Iwas a Kid in the '70s and my Miroku is about as cool- Maybe cooler on the smaller frame. Glad to get mine for a shade more than it's Original Price, and would NOT sell it for Double ($750)!!, as To Replace it with another Superposed--- Or even another Miroku would take a bit of shopping around (and no doubt a lot more Cash). Some models ARE considerably costlier- research the net, and check the gun actions sites to get the going rate on your model & condition. New in Box is Best, so is Original Finish, Gold Inlays, Grade of Engraving...Find Out First- THEN price it Accordingly- Happy Hunting!-MM I WONDERERED THAT MYSELF RECENTLY- Just picked one up in great used condition- not so fine that I'm temted to put it away, but still very Cherry, for a cool $375!!.

It would have to be older than the implementation of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which mandated that all cartridge firearms have a serial number.

model 77 does not have a serial number,they were made before serial numbers were required

I'm not sure about this but i remember seeing somewhere on the internet the value was from $75 to $125
