How do you find information on Springfield Arms shotguns?
Contrary to what some believe, Springfield Arms was never a subsidary company of Cresent Arms. Springfeild Arms, like Cresent Arms, were both bought out by Stevens/Savage. Unlike the Cresent, Springfield manufacturing continued after the buy out. Some clarification: Springfield Arms Co was absorbed by Stevens very early, before 1900. Stevens continued to use the Springfield name on certain models of shotgun. Savage absorbed Stevens around 1930 or so, and continued to use the Springfield name on into the 1980's, generally on guns sold to mass-marketers. Crescent Firearms was originally an independent manufacturer that was bought by the major wholesale HD Folsom, which also eventually was absorbed by Savage.
What would a Springfield double barrel shotgun manufactured pre 1950 be worth?
I also own springfield however it is a 5100. Now does savage, Stevens, or springfield make this sxs it is a little confusing, because there seems to be a few mft dates 1915 and post ww11 1950? helpAnswerThere are several different models of Springfield doubles, but they are all pretty much the same guns. Any utility double barrel in working condition is worth $150-$250. Less if it is a basket case and more if it is truly like new or 20 gauge or smaller. There is currently a Springfield Inc. and of course there was the US Springfield Armory, but neither of these had anything to do with Springfield shotguns. It was a trade name used first by Crescent probably as early as 1910. Stevens was bought by Savage in the 1920's and continued to make the Stevens tradenames as a semi-independent subsidiary. In the early 30's the Stevens division of Savage bought Crescent and several other small manufacturers and began making most of the Crescent trade names, too. The Springfield name was discontinued in 1948.

What year was sears model 101.1120 410 bolt-actionsingle shot made?
I bought mine new when I was 13, so about 1969, maybe as early as 1968. I still own it, made by either Stevens or Savage who was distributed by Springfield, model 51 or 951 for Sears. Still as accurate as the day I first shot it. My serial # is A162556 for anyone out there that can correct me on the date.

How much is a j Stevens arms company springfield model 15 22 caliber single shot bolt action rifle worth and what were the manafacture dates?
Depending on which version (early flat sided stocks are higher) these run about $100. They seem to have been made from the late20s/ early 30's, up until about 1950. Dates are imprecise due to the tangled history of Savage/ Stevens/ Springfield.
How old is a model number 101.40 firearm?
Happened to recognize that as a Sears model number. Your gun was made for Sears in the early 1960s. It is a Springfield (by Savage) model 947. It probably has no serial number, as they were not required on shotguns prior to 1968.

What is the value of a Springfield Arms rifle model 56mfg by J Stevens Arms Co?
That will depend on what kind of a Springfield Arms rifle it is. The "real" Springfield Arms was founded in 1850, manufactured revolvers that infringed on patents held by Colt, and closed within a year. In the early 1900's, Crescent Arms used the name on a line of inexpensive shotguns. After Savage/Stevens purchased Crescent, the Springfield Arms name was also used on several bolt action and autoloading .22 rifles. The name was discontinued in 1948.

What is the age of a J Stevens Springfield rifle?
The bad news is that I'm having the same difficulty as you. The good news is that A.J.Stevens was bought by Savage in the early 1960's. The J. Stevens Company was bought by Savage Arms in 1920. The Springfield name was used from about 1930 to 1948. The patent was dated April 17, 1894. There were no cartridge arms in in 1794, in fact, the percussion system had yet to be invented. J. Stevens and Company was formed in 1864 and used that name until 1886 when the name was changed to J. Stevens Arms and Tool Company. The plant was sold to New England Westinghouse in 1916 and used to produce military rifles for the US and the Soviet Union. In 1920, Savage purchased the facilities and manufactured firearms with the name J. Stevens Arms Company until about 1948. Guns produced after that date were marked with just "Stevens" until the name was discontinued by Savage in 1991. Many Stevens guns were not serialized, so they can only be "dated" to the period of production. I believe that Mr Callahan charges $25 to research a Stevens firearm.
