From the spring of 1905 when the hammerless guns were introduced --



From H & D Folsom Arms Co. Catalogue No. 18, probably right after WW-I --



H & D Folsom Arms Co. used the American Gun Co. name on the shotguns they sold, made at the factory they owned in Norwich, Conn., aka Crescent Fire Arms Co. from about the turn of the Century to shortly after WW-I. A couple of years in there they had them marked Folsom Arms Co. --




Circa 1910.

Sometime in the early 1920s H & D Folsom Arms Co. began having the guns marked Crescent Fire Arms Co. --



In 1930, H & D Folsom Arms Co. sold their gun factory to Savage Arms Corp. and they combined it with their recently acquired Davis Warner Arms Co. and formed Crescent - Davis Arms Corp. and operated into 1935.
