well guys what I have is a double barrel 20ga SxS other then the serial numbers which is only 4 digit I shot this gun back I the 60,s with my grandfather when he found out he was dieing he made a decision my dad was a hunter my uncle was a fisherman I did both but he said I was going to be a collector so I got his model 94, and 1890wrf ,and model 21 winchesters. We had to replace the roof on the hunting cabin and in the process talked my dad(who is 79) to let us tear the whole thing off and put modern rafter system because of the heavy snows thats were we found the shotgun in question I did fire two std field loads the gun is still fully functiable but the top end aprox 12 inches of the barrels are much worse then I would call pitted the only thing written on this gun is aristacratif anybody can tell me who made it or were I could get another set of barrels made I am not apposed to spending 250-300$ to fix this gun for sentiment because he was right my collection of ithaca doubles 54 and still growing would make him or anybody else proud with what he started. thanks pop

I did a search and found another guy with one who was trying to figure out its value. Maybe he's figured something out.

Mike:

Go to www.e-gunparts.com, and look up Crescent Arms. Bring up the on line Schematics. Then try to identify the parts layout of the different guns. Crescent Arms made a lot of guns for local distributers with various names not their own on them. Hope this helps.
