The J.C. Higgens (Sears) model 583.19 cross references to a High Standard model 10.

The Snake charmer is a southwest manufactured camp gun, found mainly in Tx., New Mexico, and Arizona, I remember them selling for $110.00-$120.00 in the 80's.

The CDM looks like one of the cheaper handguns sold in the late 60's-70's that were put out of buisness by the "saturday night special" ban in the early 80's.

1. The J.C. Higgins 20 Ga. is an H&R (Harrington & Richardson) model 120, check out this link from Numrich Arms http://www.e-gunparts.com/productschem.asp?chrMasterModel=1560z120

2, The Snake charmer I've seen around quite a bit but I don't know too much about it. You can find all you want to know at http://www.verney-carron.us/, they still make them.

3. I believe that the pistol you have there is the "ultimate Saturday Nite special". It was manufactured and sold most often under the RG brand. It is cheaply made but probably not unsafe if in good working order.

My opinon the two shotguns are worth about $75- 100 each, the .22 is maybe $25.

I hope this helps.
