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.

All I've really got on XLCR is this : XLCR - made by Iver Johnson for, W. Bingham Co., Cleveland, OH

I'm assuming that the IJ XLCR is the single shot and I'm guessing that 'Lonzo will be through in a bit to point out that the SxS was made by Crescent (pictures in the Archives titled Crescent pictures) and distributed by H.D. Folsom.

Check the pics and let us know...

So BJ yours is a boxlock? That would be consistent with Crescent-Davis as our "pet rebel" :lol: has indicated. (sorry 'Lonzo just had to pick on you) Should be a solid old gun built from 1930 to 1941 , best guess would be post 1937.
