Reply | Edit | Del All Value & Info on Victor Ejector 12 gauge? shotgun
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I have acquired a couple of old guns and am trying to find their worth and what age they are. I will post them separately.
This is the other gun. It measures about 45 ¾" at its longest part. The barrel is about 30" long and it has a site dot on the end. The hammer, trigger and the latch to open it all work well. Stamped on the side is "Victor Ejector Crescent Firearms Company Norwich, Conn U.S.A." There is also a number 12 with a C in a diamond stamped on the same side. On the top of the barrel it is stamped "Genuine Armory Steel.
To check out some pics go to:
home.shianet.org/~cheese/shotgun.htm
I tried just to paste the HTML here but it didn't work.
Thank you in advance for any help you may offer.

I have done a search on the net here is a link to the results:
www.google.com/search?hl=...irearms"
On some of the links you go to it is helpful to hit Ctrl F and do a search of the page for Cresent.
The Doc should be along soon to help us out. His expertise far exceeds mine.

Your shotgun was made by the Crescent Firearms Company in the 1920's. This was prior to their acquisition by Stevens.
The value on the gun is around $75.
Interestingly enough, the most famous "Victor Ejector" was that same shotgun action in .410, but factory-made as a pistol with 12" barrel and pistol grip. That style of "Auto and Burglar" gun was popular in the era, and is now regulated under the National Firearms Act.
