12 ga. single shot

Question
Hello Bob, I have a single shot 12ga that belonged to my wifes great grandfather. I can clearly read The Cresent FireArms Co. Norwich,Conn. Ican also read ****15 Empire Ejector. It appears that something is before the 15 but cannot read it. The serial numbers on the barrel and under side of receiver portion reads 751638. I would like to know more about the gun and can you still get replacement parts and where?

Answer
Hi Brian.

The following link is for an article which explains a lot about your shotgun including some notes about value (generally low) and the difficulty of finding parts (usually not available):

If you want to spend $10 to check the specific value for your shotgun then you can check out this site:
