A Crescent in good condition might be sort of uncommon?

There is a place in most collections for a nice Crescent --







My New Empire from the short-lived Crescent - Davis Arms Corp. of the early 1930s.

Researcher, that one would certainly have a place in my collection...Geo

Very, very nice rapidfire. How long have you had it? Care to post more pics?

That is one nice Remington!!!

Researcher:
The problem with that is for every "Nice Crescent" there's dozens of dogs that bear the same name. I have rarely seen a Remington in the dog category and that includes obviously abused examples.

Pretty sure no one left alive knows what those three slash marks mean. Here on a 1907 vintage CEO-Grade --



Here on my 1906 FE-Grade Trap Gun --



Here on my 1906 KE-Grade --



From my observations, the slashes appear on 12-gauge guns and an X often appears on 16-gauge guns. Here on my 1909 KE-Grade --



and on my 1905 DEO-Grade --

One of the nicer, and A.J. Aubry-ish Crescents





Crescent Hammerless lock springs reflect the declining quality.
1. From 1904 to 1910 V shaped springs were used.

2. Coil springs were introduced on the �Knickerbocker Improved�.



3. Catalog No. 18 c. 1921 again listed the "No. 6 Knickerbocker" with the earlier 'V-shaped main springs'.



4. �Peerless� U shaped spring. Note no cocking indicator



5. c. 1927 crude U shaped wire springs were used on the Model 6 and Model 60 �Empire� and No. 9 �New Empire�

I bought it in early 2011. Couple more pictures of the receiver, but not the best of photography, obviously done by Joseph Loy ...

Yes, I see the reversed initials in the Remington Arms pennant...Geo
