Best Answer

Have it checked by a gunsmith to verify that it is safe to shoot or hang it on the wall. A Leader Gun Co was made for Charles Williams Stores of New York by the Crescent Fire Arms Company of Norwich, Ct. It was considered a good quality inexpensive gun in its day. Its day was sometime between 1892 and 1930.

Information and value on a 16 ga french made Robust side by side shotgun?

The ROBUST shotgun was made by Manufrance, which was France's largest private gun manufacturing company. If you look underneath the barrels, it should be marked as to year of manufacture. Value is going to have to be determined by a hands-on appraisal.


Info on a shotgun patented Aug 11 1896 the only name on gun is GET THERE an only number on it is 3353 on barrel?

Interesting shotgun. The patent date is the giveaway. The shotgun was actually made by the Crescent Firearms Company which was the largest shotgun manufacturer in the US at the time. It was absorbed by HD Folsom, a huge firearm importer/distributor, and continued making shotguns for that firm under many different brand names until Folsom was absorbed by Stevens c.1930. I do not know what hardware store or mail-order store used the GET THERE brand name. Vorisek's "Shotgun Markings" attributes that patent date to WH Davenport. His entry for GET THERE indicates "unknown manufacturer" so I guess this date was not marked on the example he examined. Unfortunately, Joe passed away on Christmas Day, 2005, and I do not know what will happen to his documentation.
