Utica Fire Arms Co Double Barrel 12ga Sawed off Shotgun

This is a real piece of American history—The Utica Fire Arms Co Double Barrel Shotgun is a “Trade Brand Name”,  meaning it was made for a distribution company (like a hardware store or mail order) and marked with the distributers chosen name and not the makers. With twin hammers and triggers. The barrels are 18 inches with an overall measurement of 34 1/2 inches and the serial number 20136. On the left side lock it is marked "Utica Fire Arms Co”.  The Butt Plate is Hard Rubber. The stock and forearm show the usual wear.  The checkering on the grip and forearm are still visible.  The mechanics are great.
It is thought to have been made by the Crescent Firearms Co for distribution by A Hardware Company, and it really showcases the craftsmanship of Crescent Firearms Co., which has been around since 1888. Crescent was the largest supplier of "Branded" shotguns at the time and it is thought to have manufactured more than 2,000,000 shotguns using over 450 different names.

Just imagine holding a shotgun that truly captures the essence of the Old West era—a dependable and budget-friendly choice for the average American. Crescent Firearms earned a reputation for making solid Firearms aimed at hunters and folks wanting some home protection, all without emptying their wallets. We recommend only Low base field loads.
