What is the value of a Stevens Arms 22-Long Rifle Pat. 1913.
If your rifle is a single shot rolling block type rifle, it was probably made by the J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company. These were made for hardware stores under the Marvel brand, and PROBABLY dates to the early 1900s. Not a great deal of information out there.
No. There was no manufacturer named Central Arms Co. Guns with this name were made by J. Stevens, Crescent, Davenport, Pieper, and probably others. Many will not have serial numbers.
Pieper generally made good guns. Could be anwhere from a couple of hundred dollars to a couple of thousand depending on condition and whether or not it's a high grade gun. Go to www.doublegunshop.com and post some pics and ask about the value.
