Identifying Your Essex Single Barrel Shotgun: Model 11730

Question
I have an Essex single barrel shotgun.  The model number looks to be 11730

Answer
Debra,

This is not an area of expertise for me.  However, I did locate some information that another member of the All Experts team provided to another questioner...

This info was from Sid Lark and he provided this info on the Essex shotgun:

"Essex" was the trade name used by the Crescent - Davis Firearms Co. on shotguns made for the Belknap Hardware Co. of Louisville, KY.

There were dozens of versions of shotguns made by this company and I cannot be positive exactly which one that you may have without personal inspection. However.... that said, the "average" version of said shotgun in "good" condition is approximately $100.

You can follow up with additional questions by check with Sid Lark on the All Experts site.

Best regards,

Doug
