What information is available about a Riverside Arms shotgun in 12 gauge with only Riverside Arms and the numbers 8494 stamped on it?
The Riverside trade name was used by the Stevens division of Savage Arms from about 1920 to the late 1940's. It will be a well-made but unexciting firearm, and if it has been cared for will still throw a load of birdshot at a dove or pheasant as long as you stick with standard field loads. If it is still in factory-new condition, you may find an interested collector who will pay over $100 if it is a single shot or $300 for a double barrel, but more likely it would run about 1/2 to 3/4 of the price of similar new guns, which are priced at $90 (single) and $300 (double). Riverside Arms Company: Trade name used by the J. Stevens Arms and Tool Company on various types of firearms. I know of three side-by-side shotguns made by Stevens under the Riverside label: the 215, the 315 (early) and the 315 (late). The 215 had external hammers, while the 315s were hammerless boxlock guns. Values can range up to $1000 for new in box specimens.

Stevens guns were made at the plant in Chicopee Falls, Mass. Guns made from 1864 to 1886 will be marked J. STEVENS & CO. From 1886 to 1916 they were marked J. STEVENS A & T CO or J. STEVENS ARMS & TOOL CO. No Stevens firearms were manufactured from 1916 until 1920 when Savage Arms purchased the facilities and name. From 1920 until 1942 (or '48) Savage marked guns J. STEVENS ARMS CO and after that simply STEVENS or STEVENS/SAVAGE. The Stevens name was discontinued in 1991.
Riverside Arms 16 gauge single shot shotgun with no other markings other than the number 60002 engraved inside the forearm what can you tell me about it?
The only reference I have for Riverside Arms says that they were made by Stevens, J Arms (who are now owned by the Savage Arms Co.). Riverside Arms was probably a trade name for one of the large wholesellers operating during the early 1900's. The fact that the gun has a s/n implys that it was indeed made by a major manufactor (many of the low cost guns of that era did not), which reinforces the above reference.
