Dave - Manufactured by the Stevens division of Savage Arms, sometime between 1920 and 1948.
Stevens made jc Higgins shotguns ,the model 311 interchanges with the jc Higgins
12 has a bigger bore.
The Stevens model 9478 was made from 1978-1985.for a exact year of production,you will need to contact Savage Arms Company who made the Stevens line of shotguns.
The stevens model 520 shotgun was made from 1912-1932.There was a total production of 191,000 shotguns made.
I won't swear that there aren't any, but a quick look through several of my best reference books shows NO auto-loading shotguns made by Stevens.
The savage/stevens model 94 shotgun was made from 1926-1945.There was a total production of 934,000 shotguns made during this time frame.
I can say that Stevens began production of the model 94 single shot shotguns in the year 1929.and finished in the year 1945.
