∙ 11y agoWe just bought a Crescent Firearms 20 gauge single shot at an auction in Walterboro, SC (outside Charleston) for $95 and from what I understand, it's not worth any more than that in great shape. I've done some research online about it and looks as though you will only be able to get parts made by a good gunsmith. The parts are no longer available.

In 1888, george w. cilley bought out the defunct Bacon Arms Co of Norwich, Conn. He then formed an alliance with Frank Foster and borrowed money to form the Crescent Firearms Co. Cilley and Foster held several firearms patents and both were highly qualified in firearms design and manufacture. They started with single barrel shotguns. Double barrels shotguns production in 1891. Crescent firearms was best known as 'house' brand firearms. About one hundred names have been attributed to guns known or believed to have been made by crescent. Stevens Arms Co. acquired the business in 1931. Many shotguns that do not seem to have a known maker were probably made by Crescent......................
What information would you want? Crescent made single shotguns from 1893 to 1930. If it has a large side hammer and damascus barrels, it would almost certainly be from before 1915. If it has fluid steel barrels and a center hammer (or is hammerless) then sometime after 1903.
Circa 1890-1930. Would have to have more information to get closer. sales@countrygunsmith.net
There was no Crescent Firearms Co after 1935 when the company was purchased by Savage/Stevens.
Crescent single shots will sell for around $100 in excellent condition. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Typically, $50-$75. $20 if rusted or busted, maybe as much as $120 if in nearly new condition.
