Genuine Armory Steel was a mark used by Crescent Firearms, 1893-1930, and also by Meriden Fire Arms, 1905-1915. The phrase doesn't really mean anything except that the barrels are not laminated steel.
very good question. new york arms co. is nowhere to be found. have very old 12 gauge single barrel shotgun stamped "GENUINE ARMORY STEEL" and "CHOKE BORED" "NEW YORK ARMS CO." New York Arms Co was a trade name manufactured by Crescent Firearms. Genuine Armory Steel - Choke Bored is also a Crescent marking. They also used the name Armory Gun Co.

these were mainly produced by Crescent arms in new york and were made between 1902 and 1918 genuine armory steel refers to the barrel not being made of damascus they were inexpensive feild grade shotguns and are still usable with light loads
I wish I could help, I have one, just like it.
never used by the military they were manufactureed from 1884 until the 1960's they are not particulary valuable, perhaps between $50 and $100 in best of condition These shotguns should not be fired as the barrels can rupture if they are made of damascus steel. hang it over your mantel
Are you sure it says ARMORY and not ARMS?
