I'VE HAD A 16GA DOUBLE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP ID'ING THE MFG. THE ONLY MARKINGS ON THE SIDE PLATE ARE THE LETTERS- XLCR THESE ARE INSIDE OF A DIAMOND( <> ). IT'S HAMMERLESS, TWO TRIGGERS, THE FOREARM IS VERY MUCH LIKE SOME OLDER PARKER BROS SXS IV'E SEEN.
VALUE WISE, IT'S WORTH MORE TO ME AS A FUN SHOOTER. BARRELS HAVE BEEN CUT TO 18 5/8 INCH. WITH #1 BUCKSHOT THE RECOIL IS LIGHT, SLUGS FEEL ABOUT THE SAME AS A 45ACP.

Actually Marland, Crescent-Davis

. Seriously, I've never seen one so all I can do is quote Carder's. A one word difference :shock: !

Pet Rebel?!!! Just the thought brings tears of joy!!

I stocked a Crescent-Davis in the early '80's. I was impressed with the solid construction and, when finished, the handling characteristics. Like a few others, I sometime need to remember these old guns I so nonchalantly dismiss as just more Folsom stuff were the guns of our fathers and grand fathers; men to whom hunting was more than just fun- it was an economic nesessity. They filled this purpose well and deserve more respect than I have given them.

Enjoy the old hunter and pass it along to your children. It's very presence in your home is the beginning of a history lesson.
