Do you mean "Shotgun"? Stevens didnt make a shotgun model 44. Perhaps it's a rifle? Stevens made a Model 44 single shot Rifle valued from $250 to $600 in mint condition depending on caliber.
This gun was made from '54-'59 (Standard Catalog of S & W); I don't know exactly when the serial no. 1982 was made.
Library, internet search, gun show.
please check your model number again,the Winchester model 97 was a shotgun and therefore not chambered in a rifle cartridge(44-40Win).
The Stevens model 44 ideal single shot rifle was made from 1894-1932.The model 44 1/2 Stevens single shot was made from 1903-1916.
There is no 44 gauge gun.
---- ---- The model 28-2 was in 357 magnum and not in .44 magnum, the model 28-2 was also call the highway patrolman and it was a budge down from a the more expensive model 27.The model 28 have a 6' barrel and the 28-2 have 4' barrel.Interesting thing was that S&W marked on the barrel 357 ctg (for cartridge ) and not 375 magnum.The 28's was made in a N frame (large frame) like the .44 magnums, Most of the 357 mag now are made in J or K Frames.The model 29 was made in .44 magnum (the famous Dirty Harry Gun)The model 28 was made from 1968 to 1986 and was use by a lots of police agencies and civilians alike.
It uses the "K" frame. The Model 66 was the Model 19 in stainless, and with a target trigger. But it was only made in .357 Magnum; it was never made in .44 Magnum. That was the Model 29.
