For a cheap gun, the Crescent is a bit impressive. They used pretty good steel, the design was simple. I like the very simple cocking design. To make it cheap they lacked the fit and finish seen in more expensive guns. Some parts look like they were milled with a hardened corn cob, but I've seen that on other better makes also. I actually upgraded and refinished one for a friend and it turned out pretty nice. You just need to refit the parts, remove the tool marks, and replace the farm implement screws on the outer lock plates. A nice finish and new glass bedded wood and at first glance you might think it was a British gun! But just a lowly Crecent!
