Shotguns

Manufactured by Crescent Fire Arms Co sometime between 1893 and 1932 and worth $150-$250, depending on condition.

Elgin Arms Company: Trade name used on shotguns made for the Strauss and Schram Company of Chicago. The value will depend on the exact configuration and condition. If it is a boxlock, either hammerless or with back hammers, it probably has fluid steel barrels and could (if approved by an experienced gunsmith) still be used as a field gun and be worth around $200. If it has side hammers, it probably also has laminated barrels. These should be retired and usually sell for $125-$150 as mantle decorations.

Ranger was a trade name used by Sears Roebuck, probably from about 1920-1040's. The guns were made by a variety of manufacturers, but a SxS double is most likely a version of the Stevens 311. They should be good utility guns, but nothing flashy or expensive. A 12 gauge should be worth $200-$250. The 20 gauge might be $100 higher.

This is an incorrect answer. The Ranger line was made for Sears and Roebuck, by Hunter Arms, famous for L.C.Smith shotguns. The Ranger was the same as the Fulton and Fulton Special. These were and are exrtreamly good boxlock shotguns, as many of the parts were the same design as he L.C.Smith. These go for up to 1500 dollars in 20 guage, so the 410 will ble worth more.

The 410 is the rarest of this model, and will command a premium price.

j Stevens 235 `s were made from 1912 till 1932 a total of 95537 were made or about 4776 per year mine was made about 1931 this information came from http://oldguns.net questions and answers. hope it helps. you will be saddened at the value we will not get rich on these.

Most of the Western Field models cross reference to Mossberg, but there are several makers represented - Savage/Stevens, Marlin/Glenfield, Noble, Kessler, and even Remington and Colt.

The model 235 was manufactured from 1912 to 1932 (no Stevens guns were made from 1916 to 1920). Value will range from $50 if beat-up and rusted to $300 if like-new and never fired. Most will trade for around $200.

the model 583.16 is a j.c. Higgins "model 10" bolt action. sears has issued a volentary recall on them. at the time of the recall they were offering a $160 "finders fee" for the return of the bolt from the shotgun .

Your old Sears Roebuck single shot is worth $50-$75 retail. Since it's probably 80-90 years old, you don't know how well it's been treated over it's life, so before you shoot it, let a gunsmith check it. If he says it's safe, you can use modern shells. Shot size and powder load varies by what you want are hunting, but avoid magnum loads and steel shot.

Julian Saget was a gunsmith in New Orleans from about 1860 to 1890. I have a J Saget double barrel that was imported from Leige, Belgium. It has an engraving of ducks on the water surronded by J Saget, New Orleans, LA. It is a 16 guage with 44 inch barrels. I bought it from an antique dealer in New Orleans. Is this similar to your gun?

Any good gunsmith can find or make parts for your shotgun. It might take several weeks to a year or more. Parker Brothers are a top of the line shotgun, and a shotgun in working shape is worth more than a broken one. Do some checking around at a local gun show, or surf the web for parts.

Valient was a trade name used by the Spear and Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on firearms they retailed. The patent date identifies yours as a product of J. Stevens Arms.

The value of a 12 gauge featherlight shotgun is $800.00 bucks canadian.

Made by Stevens for Montgomery Ward. It's equivalent to the Stevens 311. If fully functional, but not in like-new condition, it should be worth $200+ (retail).

The Standard Catalog has a comment (quoting from memory, so not exact) "Stevens made a variety of bolt action repeating shotguns between 19xx and 19xx", then lists several model numbers. I'm pretty sure that 39A or at least 39 is in that list. Forget the idea of rechambering for a .45LC. Your barrel, bolt lugs, etc, were designed to withstand a certain pressure. The carrier will also jam with shorter cartridges. If you want a rifle, buy a rifle.

Original value? You mean what did one sell for when it was new? Probably about $5 in the 1890's and up to about $15 by 1930. It was a "hardware store" gun imported from Belgium by H&D Folsom or built in Norwich, CT, by Folsom's subsidiary company, Crescent Firearms. Value today is probably $125-$150 as a mantle decoration.

Mid 1950's

Stevens made these only a few years,many never survived the hard times of the day.They were made in early 1900's only a few years.If one is shootable should be worth a lot to a historical collector.they were probally carried west or anywhere people were moving to make a new life for themselves.Back in this time some people owned handguns but everyone had a shotgun.
