Shotguns

Single shot, $35-$75. Double barrel, $100-$200.

$100 - $200, assuming in useable condition but not 100% new condition

This will be a Stevens shotgun made circa 1930-1948. It would bring $35 to $80 depending on condition.

What information would you want? Crescent made single shotguns from 1893 to 1930. If it has a large side hammer and damascus barrels, it would almost certainly be from before 1915. If it has fluid steel barrels and a center hammer (or is hammerless) then sometime after 1903.

well marlin introduced the marlin model 43 in 1922 so mabey when u figure out what you really have you could try another question My Marlin Model 43 12 gauge pump (Model number is stamped underneath, in front of the trigger guard) has Pat. 1908 on the barrel. There is also a patent date of 1922. Looks like Marlin did produce the Model 43 earlier than the 1922 date you have.

The only way to tell would be to have them measured. Any gunsmith should have the gauges and probably wouldn't even charge you for the 3 minutes it would take him.

The Essex trade name was used by Belknap Hardware of Louisville, KY. A double barrel was probably made by Crescent Fire Arms Co c. 1893-1930.

It depends on the condition of the gun, is it rusted, dented etc. Price ranges for 100%down to 60% is $250.00 down to $75.00 as per Blue Book of Gun Values. Hope this helped you.

Gun values vary greatly based on a number of factors, so pinning a number here in the Wiki doesn't make any sense. The Browning Superposed is a high grade shotgun that is valuable both for its shootability and its collector interest. Collectors are looking for "un-buggered" guns with original finish. The higher percentage of original condition, the higher the price. They are also interested in factory embellishments and rarity. Small gauge guns go for a lot more than 12 gauge. Sixteen gauges are least popular, generally. High grade guns go for a lot more than Grade I guns. If anything has been altered from the way it left the factory, that will diminish collector interest. Collectors have eagle eyes and know what things to look for. If the stock or barrels are cut, chokes reamed, polished or refinished, it's a shooter, not a colector gun. The price curves are not linear. A pristine Midas grade gun in .410 with all the trimmings will go for the cost of a fine car or small house. One that is well cared for but has signs of honest use might go for thousands less. Advanced collectors can't stand seeing one for sale that is better than the one they have in their collection and are ready to dig deep for the best. Shooters love Browning Superposed shotguns because they are so darned great to shoot, they are durable, they work every time, and they're classy. There are only a few over/under shotgun designs that will stand up to the thousands of rounds per year that a serious clay target shooter puts through them, and the Browning Superposed is the grand-daddy of them all. Shooter guns are valued on all of the above, but without the premium for original condition. If you're going to shoot trap and the gun has been ported, has an adjustable recoil pad and an adjustable comb, those are pluses. Refinished shooters are common. Those same things will make a collector put the gun down and move on. There are a number of gun auction websites classified websites for guns and websites of gun dealers. You can see "asking prices" on thse sites and get "selling" prices on the closed auctions. Specific points: The action must be tight or deduct the cost of fixing.

The stocks must be intact or deduct the cost of fixing. There are "salt-wood" guns where the stock wood was dried by Browning using a salt bath. These stocks harm the guns generally between 1964 and 1974 or so. Not every gun is affected. Round knob, long tang guns carry a premium. If you don't know what that is, you need to do more research before you start peeling off stacks of hundred dollar bills.

Give me the name exactly as it is marked on the side of the gun. That will determine if it is really 120 years old because the name changed in 1886. Stevens always built solid and dependable guns, but they do not have much collector appeal except for the very early "boys' rifles" and the smoothbore versions of these rifles.

It would just be called a Forehand Arms Single Shot.

This question cannot be answered unless one knows the condition of the firearm, guage, and grade. These firearms were also produced in an era when Damascus or laminated steel barrels were still being produced and this can have a huge effect on value. Syracuse Arms was in business from (I believe) fron the early 1880's until about 1908 when it was absorbed by one of the major shotgun manufactures. They made guns in numerous grades from low cost knockabouts to grades that were elaborately finnished and quite expensive.

i found a small list of parts at numrich guns and parts

Trade name used on guns sold by Farwell, Ozmun & Kirk of St Paul. Manufacturered by W. H. Davenport, Crescent, and probably others.

Not much information about this one. Probably a dealer in Toledo, Ohio, c. 1915-1950. Would be interested in seeing this gun or good pictures of it. We could possibly ID the manufacturer.

1949.

About $100.

The Stevens Model 22/410 was made from 1939 to 1950. Value in average condition on-line and at gunshows is in the $250 to $350 range. Condition is highly important in determining price. Guns below $200 are hard to find. Guns above $400 are slow to sell.

There's a long list of manufacturers who used this name. Can you list any other markings.

Savage

The gun is chambered for the 32 caliber Winchester center fire cartridge. Also known as the 32-20.

Those markings suggest manufacture between 1900-1920. sales@countrygunsmith.net
