Virtually all of the single shot Stevens 12ga shotguns are going to top out shy of $100. sales@countrygunsmith.net
The Springfield name was used by Stevens from 1920 to 1948.
I own a Paragon double barrel and through research on the internet I found out that Paragon was a Trade name used by the J. Stevens Arms Co. and Hopkins and Allen in 1880`s. The nearest I got for a worth value was a single barrel in good or better SHOOTING condition was $100 and the double barrel was at about $175. Hope this helps somewhat and if I run on any updated research results I will post them here.

As far as I know Ray Stevens isn't a Shriner. He often does charity work for the Shriners and promote their causes within his concerts or on TV shows if he happens to be talking about Shriners; usually this leads into a performance of "Shriner's Convention", his 1980 hit single.
I don't know what the numbers on the trigger are unless they are a part number, but you can add about 25% to the asking price for a single selective trigger.
If it is not marked on the barrel, you should have a gunsmith measure the chamber length.
Made by J Stevens Arms between 1920 and 1948.
$50-$100, depending on condition.
What year is 16 gage single shot Springfield barrel and lug forged one piece inside barrel wwdt
Iver Johnson is most often associated with the HERCULES trade name. sales@countrygunsmith.net *If that statement marked on the gun actually says "barrel and lug forged in one piece" it is a Stevens. If it says "barrel and lug forged in one" (exactly the same except no "piece") it is by Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works.
Try Numrich Gun Parts Corp.
If it is a typical Stevens double or single barrel there should be a metal lever towards the back of the stock slide it left or right and tilt the barrel down.
Diamond Arms was a trade name used by Shapleigh Hardware Co of St Louis from the late 1800s to about 1950. The guns were made by G. B. Crandall, Harrington & Richardson, Hopkins & Allen Arms, J. Stevens Arms Co, and probably a few others. A 410 single shot is most likely a Stevens product. If that statement about one piece barrel actually says "barrel and lug forged in one piece" it is a Stevens. If it says "barrel and lug forged in one" (exactly the same except no "piece") it is by Iver Johnson Arms and Cycle Works.
The "J.Stevens" name was shortened to "Stevens" in 1940. What you need to look for is the chamber size, which should be stamped on the barrel. It needs to be 2 & 3/4 inches to shoot modern ammo. Also Stevens usually stamped near the chamber size if the barrel was proof tested. My Stevens single is stamped "Proof Tested Steel" and it handles modern ammo well, but kicks like a mule. To be really safe, let a gunsmith look at it.
The value of a J Stevens single barrel 410 shotgun from 1922 depends on its condition. This gun in excellent condition is valued between 125.00 and 150.00 as of 2014.
