The JC Higgins was made Savage Stephens. It is basically the same as the Model 94 by Savage Stephens. It was made from 1937 to the 1980's and to give an exact date of manufacture is almost impossible because there aren't factory records available.

Your rifle was made by Marlin for Sears, but used a different serial number sequence, making it difficult to date it precisely. The JC Higgins name was only used on the model 45 from 1958 to 1961. By the way, that is a really good deer rifle.
I'm looking for the date of a J.C. Higgins bicycle with the serial number 705495
Given that Mr. Higgins and the potential significant other would both be minors, such a relationship would be legal. However, Mr. Higgins would most likely date the person in question if they had shared interests.
