They aren't worth a whole lot according to the price guides, but they can cost you $250,000 if you get caught with one that has not been registered. Everything about the Stevens short-barreled shotguns at the related question applies to the Essex. -- Explanation -- Shotguns marked 'Essex Arms' were made by Crescent Firearms for sale by the Belknap Hardware Company through its catalog. Crescent DID make a couple of different versions of a .410 pistol, but production was stopped in 1934 after passage of the National Firearms Act. I have a few very thorough references on these pistols, and know of none marked 'Essex' although with Crescent Firearms you never say "never." These guns are classified as Title II firearms in the Any Other Weapon category and require federal registration. Those that were registered in 1934 or during the one amnesty period in the 1960's are legal to own (pursuant to state and local laws as well) and will have accompanying paperwork and a 'tax stamp.' Any that were NOT registered can not be registered now and are contraband, subject to seizure, with the possessor subject to prosecution similar to owning an unregistered machinegun. If the gun is NOT a factory-made pistol (most likely), it was cut down from an Essex-marked single-barrel shotgun and is also very illegal to possess. sales@countrygunsmith.net
