That form of the Stevens name indicates manufacture between 1886 and 1915. Since you have a serial number, the Stevens historian may be able to give you an exact year, for a fee. savagearms.com should have his contact information.
Serial numbers were not required prior to 1968.
That the actual serial number low on this model. It should be on the trigger metal guard
Serial numbers were not required at that time.
I have a Stevens Visible Loading .22, adn the serial number is on the underside of the rifle, on the extended metal that goes from the trigger guard into the stock. It's quite visible. Ed
Serial numbers were not required before the GCA 68 was enacted.
If you are asking about a specific one, you have to provide the serial number.
The make and model of the rifle need to be known before an answer can be given. Serial numbers are not unique to a single firearm.
Do you mean "Shotgun"? Stevens didnt make a shotgun model 44. Perhaps it's a rifle? Stevens made a Model 44 single shot Rifle valued from $250 to $600 in mint condition depending on caliber.
Would have to see it. Digital pictures would help. sales@countrygunsmith.net
It could be any where from a single digit to a six figure serial number located on the rifle.
A serial number is useless unless you can also provide a model name or number. At least tell us if you are looking at a rifle, shotgun, revolver, single shot pistol, etc. Value is also highly dependent on the CONDITION of the gun.
Basically, you can't. SNs were not required before 1968.
