We'd have to start by figuring out what make and model it is. What markings are on the gun? sales@countrygunsmith.net
Henry shotguns were manufactured by several Belgian makers and also by Crescent Arms. The other markings Identify it as a product of Anciens Etablissments Pieper (1905-1957). Since the import of firearms from Europe pretty much ended with the start of World War 2 and fluid steel barrels became the norm about the same time, yours was probably made between 1905 and 1914.
Retailed by either Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co of Chicago (1855-1960) or Gray & Dudley Hardware Co of Nashville (1880-1930).

NOT Familiar with Parker??Only the most famous American shotgun manufacturer of all time.Your gun was made in 1919. Value is going to depend on which grade it is and to a lesser extent how the barrels are choked. Of course, we are talking about ORIGINAL condition - not refinished. In true 90% condition, even the lowest grade Parker Trojan is going to pull $1500 FAST with higher grades getting into five digits.

Not much collector interest in these, plus it doesn't help that most offered for sale have been absolutely beat to hell. If in truly excellent condition, maybe $250. In typical condition we see these, about $150.

If a Montgomery Ward Western Field 30-30 has Winchester initials does that mean it is a Winchester?
If it has the intertwined WRA emblem, it was made by Winchester, but it is not considered a 'real' Winchester by collectors. If it has 30 WCF (30 caliber Winchester Center Fire), that is another name for the 30-30 cartridge it uses and the rifle could have been made by almost anyone.
Actually, it was manufactured by the Crescent Firearms Company and distributed by HD Folsom. "Charles Richter" was a trade name used by the New York Sporting Goods Co in New York around 1900. Value is as a wallhanger decoration, about $200 if in very nice condition, and the gun should not be fired with modern ammunition. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Where is the model number located on a old Remington 12 gauge shotgun?
First what type of shotgun is it? i.e. side by side, over under, auto loading... E. Remington and Sons began making side by side guns in the 1870s If this is an antique your best bet is to take it to an expert or to send a detailed description to one. Otherwise, modern pump / auto models are stamped on the right side of the receiver and the manufacture code is on the barrel.
What is the age and value of Western Field 16 gauge shotgun Model 19 serial 27058xi?
We'd have to see those markings. Model 19 does not appear in my cross-references, but it is almost certainly a Mossberg product, probably bolt-action, and probably from the 1930's. sales@countrygunsmith.net
It is a Stevens gun, general utility type shotgun. Value around $200 in good condition. sales@countrygunsmith.net
That would be the Flues Model, made in 1915. You neglect to give us any idea about condition, so we will have to assume it is the typical 75%-or-less condition most of these guns are found in today. Also, we will have to assume it is a Grade 1. If all that is accurate, it would sell for around $300. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Made from 1891-1902. Value depends on condition, but if the 2" barrel is original and not cut down that would be a plus. Value for excellent condition around $200. sales@countrygunsmith.net
What is the value of a Sears Roebuck single shot 12 gauge model A521361?
If that number is appearing on the frame, as I suspicion it is, that is the serial number and not the model number. The model information appears on the barrel and will be something similar to 101.1. In any event, these single-shot shotguns top out at $75. sales@countrygunsmith.net
What is the age of a Henry Arms with the serial number 82743 marked Twist Finish Belgium?
From the 1880's to about 1910. Please do not attempt to shoot it. sales@countrygunsmith.net
