AnswerEarly Stevens shotguns did not have choke markings.sales@countrygunsmith.netOn my Savage semi-autos, a model 755A and 775A, the chokes are marked with an asterisk on the rear left side of the barrel. One for full, two for mod., three for IC.
Mic the ID of the muzzle compared to the ID of the unchoked bore. Most of these guns will be Full/Modified or Full/Full. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Yes, they describe the various chokes.
Find the serial number to determine the year of mfg. Does it have the case and paperwork? Does it have screw in chokes? Look at some of the gun auction sites to get a better idea.
Your shotgun was mfg in 1981. Used gun values are driven by several things. Condition of the firearm, model, chokes, with or without paperwork? Go to a used gun site like gunbroker.com and compare.

Depends on the choke. MOST chokes, including full choke, can safely fire slugs. Some makers of adjustable chokes recommend that slugs NOT be fired thru their chokes. A very few chokes, such as the Extra Full chokes used on some turkey guns should not be used for slugs.
