Springfield Firearms

The book values really aren't going to give you a good estimate of the value - this is a special case. You need to have the gun professionally appraised, along with a copy of the letter to establish provedance.

I believe I have a Marlin No.18 pump action octagon barrel single shot rifle. Would upload photo but cannot locate this option.

The Browning Double Auto model was made from 1952 - 1971. The FN on your gun is not part of the serial number but stands for FN the manufacturer. Your serial number is 54831. There were no records kept by Browning between 1951 and 1959 as to the dates of mfg. The Double Auto had a serial code that started in 1960 with a letter prefix. Your gun was probably made in the mid 1950's.

According to The Gun Traders Guide, this gun was produced between 1931-1935.

Springfield" was one of the brand names used by Savage Arms Corporation, and they also made guns under the "Stevens" name after they acquired the Stevens company in the 1920s. The Model 87 was sold in several slightly different models under slightly different names until finally discontinued in 1987 hoped that help some This name was used by Stevens/Savage from about 1920 until 1948.

Manufactured for Belknap Hardware by several different companies between 1890 and the mid 1940s. Additional markings may determine which company and may narrow the range of possible dates. Value will be less than $75.

$50 - $125, depending on condition.

There's not much information about any particular Crescent firearm, but the company operated from 1892 to 1932 as a subsidiary of H&D Folsom Sporting Goods. The company produced millions of single and double barrel shotguns with over 100 different trade names. Crescent was purchased by the Stevens division of Savage Arms and merged with another purchased company as Crescent-Davis for a few years and then disappeared into the Stevens operation.

Savage guns were manufactured in Chicopee Falls from 1946 to 1960. A 410 single shot could bring from $75 to $150.

It is worth $75 to $150, $200.00 if it is mint condition.

.38 Safety Hammerless (5th Model), made about 1912. The 6" barrel is somewhat rare in this model and if the gun is in top condition could bring over $400.

Manufactured between 1886 and 1916.

Contact springfield arms and ask them. They should be able to look it up and tell you.

Manufactured: 1913

The manufacture month and year of a Remington rifle can be determined from a letter and number code stamped near the back of the barrel on the right side. If your Model 12 is not marked 12A, 12B, 12C, 12CS, 12D, 12E, or 12F, it is a basic Model 12.

That is a 1960 gun and should be a '4-screw.' In excellent shape, it would list around $800

I have one that says it was patented April 22, 1913. So, I would assume it was manufactured shortly after that. I don't know the value. I do know it's the first .22 I ever owned / shot (it was already very used then; 30 years ago) and it stills fires. Although it will fire, mine is oiled and sits in a closet waiting to be handed off to another generation. I don't know what it would be worth if it were appraised.

Not if they were manufactured prior to 1969.

The Springfield Model 15 was produced by The J. Stevens Company beginning in 1938. Intended as a boy's rifle (A low-caliber, easily used, rifle), it saw production into the early 40's when production tapered off on account of the war effort.

Don't take this as gospel, but I believe that wooden-barrelled training muskets were made up by Francis Bannerman in the late 1800's.

(Bannerman was a famous dealer of military surplus, who established a business headquarters and warehouse in an "armory" that he built on an island in the Hudson River. The facade was inspired by a Scottish castle, and its crumbling ruins still remain today, preserved as a park.)

Bannerman produced a paper catalog which is still available as a reprint, and is an excellent reference for identifying old militaria (much like vintage Sears catalog reprints). Much of his inventory consisted of Civil War and Spanish-American War military surplus, including guns.

I am told that in the late 1890'2 and early 1900's, military academies and community marching groups were a very popular social activity. There was no anti-war stigma at the time. Obsolete muzzle-loading Civil War muskets and Trapdoor Springfield rifles with condemned (unsafe) actions were made into lightweight training and marching muskets for youth by removing the original barrel and replacing it with a wooden barrel turned to the same contours. Often the last six inches or so of the original barrel was cut off and attached to the training gun, with the joint covered by the last barrel retaining band. This muzzle allowed attachment of the original bayonet for drill purposes. I have actually seen one example of this done with an 1873 trapdoor springfield rifle.

These non-functional but realistic guns were sometimes referred to as "Quaker muskets" with reference to the pacifist Quaker movement in the US. Various grades of these drill rifles were listed in the Bannerman catalog.
