Where can you find information about a 12-gauge Nitro Hunter shotgun with a 32'' barrel marked trade mark reg'd choke bored reinforced breech 25 0 55 and patented dec 5 9 and May 27 02?

"NITRO HUNTER" was one of the many brand names used by the HD Folsom Company. They were major distributors of shotguns to the various hardware/catalog stores in the 19th and early 20th century. HD Folsom absorbed Crescent Firearms Company and Crescent became the in-house manufacturer for this type of gun, but HD Folsom also sold products made by Hopkins & Allen, H&R, Iver Johnson, etc. Your particular shotgun was made by Crescent and distributed by HD Folsom to Belknap Hardware in Louisville KY sometime between 1902 and 1930. sales@countrygunsmith.net

What is the value of a Montgomery Wards Model 1929 Hercules shotgun?

I have the same, purchased by my Grandpa and having been in my family since new. Upon giving me the shotgun, my Mother consulted a gun dealer and he put the value at only $75 for it's good, very little rust, and still shootable condition. With this low of a value, she gave it to me to keep passing on as a family piece rather than sell. Have you found anything out somewhere else? Thanks! That dealer was right. Although it is a good solid firearm, it's just another Stevens single shot wearing a suit from Montgomery Wards. If it's a 410, it might bring a little more, but for less than $100 you can get a similar gun with a manufacturer's warrantee.

What is the value and age of a 12 gauge Amadeo Rossi Stagecoach double barrel serial T84118?

Rossi made 2 variations of the double barrel shotguns. The Amadeo "Coach gun" with the rabbit ear hammers and the "Squire" double barrel which was the hammerless version. The age of both guns are from 1968-1989. The value of each is about the same. Ranges from $125 - $150 Depending on value. Not a very valuable gun, but a good shooter. Rossi is no longer in business. They changed there name to Braztech. They are still made in South America, decent cheap gun.

How do you find the manufacturer and value of a Morin Valenciennes 16 gauge pinfire shotgun side hammer damascus twist double barrel with scroll trigger guard?

Valenciennes is the region in France where it was made. "Morin" may well be the maker, although I do not have a reference on that maker specifically. There were many French guilds producing arms in the mid-1800's (1860's time frame when pinfire was popular). Value is going to depend on the overall quality, amount of decoration and condition - could be anywhere from a couple of hundred to well over a thousand.
