You can get an approximate date from the way the company name is marked on the gun. * J. Stevens and Company = 1864 to 1886. * J. Stevens Arms and Tool Co = 1886 to 1916. * J. Stevens Arms Co = 1920 to about 1948. * Stevens (or Savage/Stevens) = about 1948 to 1991 or after 1999. * No Stevens guns were made 1917-1919 or 1992-98. Also, any double barrel shotgun with the Stevens brands made from 1949 to 1968 is marked with a number and letter in a small circle on the bottom of the frame. A thru N = 1949 thru 1962, P = 1963, R thru V = 1964 thru 1968. If you need more information, you can contact Savage Arms on the web (savagearms.com I think) for information about newer guns. The Stevens historian will research any older gun in the Stevens factory records for $15. The address is: Mr. John Callahan, 53 Old Quarry Road, Westfield, MA 01085.
