When the U. S. Arms Co. did no longer existed their name was used as a brand of Crescent Fire Arms Co, Norwalk, Connecticut and of H. & D. Folsom Arms Co. New York.

Crescent manufactured shotguns on its own. However, H. & D. Folsom was an importer and distibuter. Many shotguns were imported from Belgium. In that case an ELG mark with or without a crown is stamped on the barrel.

12 gauge shotgun, single shot with serial number 232425, thanks to Dave Ceratti for the pictures.
