Passed down to me by family. Price is firm. Everything appears to work. I’ve never fired it.

This Crescent Fire Arms Co. “Volunteer” is a trade-brand 12 ga. single-shot made for Belknap Hardware between 1901 and 1932. It features the desirable 32-inch “Long Tom” barrel with a fixed full (12F) choke, twin coil-spring lockwork, and an exposed hammer. Chambered for both 2 3/4 in and 3 in shells, it offers flexibility uncommon in early 20th-century economy shotguns.

Collectors looking for a representative hardware-store private-label gun from the pre-WWII era will find this example notable for its original barrel length, roll-marked “Volunteer” name, and “A” serial prefix that aligns with Crescent production records.
