The Crescent Arms "Empire Hammerless" double barrel (20 guage) is not a collectable gun, but is a "shooter". Thus, in shootable condition, it is worth about $200. That's what I paid for mine, strictly for bird hunting.
Utility grade shotgun mostl likely made near the turn of the century.
My Crescent "Empire" cost $200 as a shooter. The serial number is 7787. These are not collectable guns, but mass marketed "shooters". Still works fine!
Oh, dude, you're asking about a Crescent Norwich Firearms Model 177 single barrel 12 gauge? That's like asking me to calculate the square root of a unicorn's horn. I mean, technically, the value would depend on factors like its condition, rarity, and demand in the market. But hey, if you're looking to sell it, maybe start by checking out some gun appraisal websites or consulting with a firearms expert.
