I am looking for parts for a Newport Model WN. What other manufacturer made a gun like this? I am looking at Numerich and they do not show a Newport.
Thanks,
Steve
 
You are probably SOL on that gun. Back in the early 1900's Crescent Arms made over 100 different hardware store names and my list is by no means complete. There were also an endless variety of names on guns imported from Belgium--you could have a hardware store and order a couple cases of guns with the name of your choice stamped on. Most of these old guns are not worth fixing much less trying to come up with parts. You also see such problems as Damascus barrels and short chambers such as 2 9/16 16ga. or 2 1/2 or 2 5/8" 12ga. Good luck, but my advice is to hang it on the wall. Here endeth the epistle. Goatwhiskers the Elder
 
At one time, any hardware store that ordered as few as 10 guns could have their name put on them. I have a list of the Crescent guns (probably not complete) and Newport is not on it.

I agree with Goatwhiskers. Unless there is something unusual about that gun, it has little value and is not worth wasting time on. I don't know what is wrong with it, but as a rule those old guns have a multitude of problems and repairs, even if possible, will cost many times what the gun could ever be worth. Give it an honorable retirement, on display over the fireplace.
