I believe these old stevens/savage were a good reliable gun and fairly inexpensive. there are several around I just bought a 16gauge 2 3/4 in. chamber for $77.00 including tax. I feel glad to have found this old 940 in the 16 gauge. I think your 410 with a 3in. chamber is a sweet find. I would not know the value but if it were my gun I would not take less than $400.00
The 940 is a single shot, break action, isn't it? I think Anonymous paid about right for a 16 gauge. A .410 will bring more in most areas, but not as much as he suggests. I'd say in the neighborhood of $150, unless it is really in like-new condition, then maybe $200 if a collector is interested. After all, you can get a new one at Walmart or Dick's for less.
Built c. 1930-1948 by Stevens division of Savage Arms. If in useable condition, possibly worth $200+.
Springfield Arms was a trade name used by J. Stevens Arms and Tool Co beginning around 1920. After Stevens was pruchased by Savage Arms, that company continued making Springfield Arms rifles and shotguns until 1948.
Eastern Arms was a Sears Roebuck trade name. Manufacturers included Meriden Firearms, Iver Johnson A&C, Stevens/Savage Arms, and Crescent Firearms.
Although the company dates back to 1864, the name "J Stevens Arms Co" was not used until after the company was bought by Savage Arms in 1920. In the mid 1940s, the name was shortened to "Stevens".
