I have an old side by side double 12 and the only markings on it is Premier. Can any one tell me more about this or lead mye to the info?

thanks rufe-snow.
Safe to shoot? It all depends on condition, chambering, and the loads you intend to toss. Under some conditions these are good little doubles.
Value will be rather low if the gun is in any less than new condition. Always lower than a classic double and always a bit higher than the junker utility pieces of 100 years ago. Obviously I'm comparing based on condition.
Thats a great help. I had absolutey nothing to go on. Were there alot made? Do they have any value? Are they considered to be a good firearm?
thanks rufe-snow.
Crescent was in business between the 1880's and the 1930's, they probably made hundreds of thousands of shotguns during that time frame, using many different Trade and Store Brand names.
If you intend to shoot it, take it to a competent Gunsmith for inspection and test firing, to make sure it's safe.
