Where can you find information about a Mississippi Valley Arms Co shotgun?
Folsom was a sporting goods wholesale/retail business in New York City. The actual manufacturer would be their subsidiary company, Crescent Firearms, Norwich, CT, or it may have been imported from Belgium. Look carefully at the barrels and receiver for ELG* in an oval. If you find this mark, it is Belgian, if not, then Crescent.
It would have been manufactured c. 1880-1930. If it has outside hammers and/or damascus barrels, probably before 1905. If hammerless with fluid steel barrels, most likely after 1900.
Does anyone know the year the shotgun was made, by looking at the serial number? I have a dbl barrel, exposed hammer, breechloading, 20 ga., serial #415407. Thanks! Don
Don - If your shotgun is from one of the "quality" manufacturers like Parker Brothers, Lefever, or Winchester, there are serial number lists available. For the utility "hardware store" guns like Crescent, Iver Johnson, Stevens, and especially the Belgian imports, no such information exists and often the "serial numbers" are really batch numbers or assembly numbers which may have been duplicated in different years. If the actual manufacturer or retailer can be identified, it is sometimes possible to narrow the date of manufacture down to a few years.
Don - These fall under the category of hardware-store guns for which there does not seem to be any reliable dating method. Knowing the actual manufacturer could narrow the estimated DOM by a few years. If you find the ELG proofmark, figure 1880-1914 (Belgian imports stopped during WWI and never really came back after), and if it is a Crescent, that company was founded in 1893.
Roy--Thanks for helping. The shotgun I was referring to is a Mississippi Valley Arms, with that serial #.
Don -Mississippi Valley Arms Company never existed. That was a trade name owned by the Shapleigh Hardware. I think Shapleigh was still in business into the 1950's.
What is the value of a john m. smyth co. faultless goose gun?
Oh, dude, a John M. Smyth Co. Faultless Goose Gun? Sounds fancy! Well, technically, the value of that bad boy would depend on factors like its condition, rarity, and any historical significance it might have.

What is the value of a 12 gauge shotgun 1946 single shot pump?

What is the value of a 12 gauge Crescent Arms Victor Special single shot?
I have one which is valued in Australia at about $50US - however if someone thinks it is worth more I would be glad to know. Bob Clinch - Yeppoon, Queensland, Australia. The Crescent singles range from parts-gun prices up to $100 in top condition. Smaller bores will bring more (24ga or 32ga considerably more). sales@countrygunsmith.net If you made a typo and meant VictoR Special, this name was distributed by H&D Folsom. It was probably manufactured by Crescent Firearms, Norwich, CT sometime between 1893 and 1930. It could also have been imported from Belgium c 1890-1914. If it is hammerless with fluid steel barrels it may still be a shooter (but have it checked by a gunsmith before trying it) and could bring $200-$250 retail for a double barrel or $75 for a single shot. If it has side hammers and twist barrels, it would bring about half as much as a decorator. If it's broken/worn-out/rusted, then it's probably only worth $10-$20 to someone who will turn it into a floorlamp.
Why did they make the sod off shotgun?
I guess you mean 'Sawed-off' or 'Sawn-off'.
Shotguns are an extremely powerful weapon at close quarters but because they are so long, they are a bit difficult to use in small spaces. The butt was sawn off to resemble a pirates pistol grip and the barrel(s) was sawn off to a point usually immediately in front of where the wooden grip finishes. This made it a very useful weapon at close quarters.
It is highly illegal to do this.
Who made the Ted Williams 410 ga shot gun model 282510840?

What is the value of a single shot 20 gauge made in 1932?
Typically old single shots bring little at market. Very few were made ornate, and most were produced to provide a gun at the lowest possible cost. Even more well known makers, won't bring a lot of money. Again, it depends on maker, model, condition. If original and in good condition, most can be had $60 - $125

Where are the serial numbers located on a Diamond Arms shotgun?
If this is one of the Diamond shotguns imported in the last few years, it had better be clearly visible on the receiver, but most likely it is a tradename single or double barrel sold by Shapleigh Hardware c. 1890-1945. These were made by a variety of US and Belgian manufacturers. Very few will have serial numbers and there will be no records for any that do.

What is the value of a Diamond Arms shotgun?
Diamond Arms was a trade name used Shapleigh Hardware for guns that were actually made by Iver Johnson of Fitchburg, MA, c. 1920-1950. These were utility guns.
Prior to WWI Diamond Arms shotguns were Belgian imports. They would bring about the same prices, but strictly as mantle decorations. These are unlikely to be 410's.
If it is a single shot it was probably manufactured by Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle works of Fitchburg, MA c. 1920-30's and would be worth $75 or less. If it is a double barrel, it is more likely to be by Crescent Firearms of Meriden, CT, c. 1893-1930 or J. Stevens Arms of Chicopee Falls, MA c. 1930-40. Value of a double may be $125-$200.
Apparently .410's are getting popular with both shooters and collectors, so you may be able to double those prices.
AnswerWhat is the value of a 12 gauge (single shot) shotgun? The inscription on the receiver states; "Diamond Arms Company St. Louis"? Based on what we know, the shotgun is more than 75 years old. AnswerYour answer is directly above your question. A single shot 12 gauge may be worth up to $75. AnswerDiamond Arms shotguns were made by Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works for Shapleigh Hardware Company of St. Louis, Missouri c. 1900-1930.Retail value is $75 or less.
AnswerMost utility single shots go for $75 or less, but a .410 may bring as much as $150. However, this model was made for about 5 years on either side of the introduction of the 3" .410 shell, so if you are thinking of shooting it, have the chambers measured first.$150 is a fair price for a .410 model. Mine was a full choke; circa 1934, no serial number.
