Unfortunately, the lineage of many of these rifles is a bit blurred. Stevens was acquired by Savage Arms about 1920. As a result, the same model may have the name Stevens, Savage, or Springfield (a Savage brand name), and finding an exact date of manufacture may not be possible- but you CAN check with Savage customer service through their webiste- they ARE still in business. The value of ANY gun is based on exact make, model, and condition. These very nice little rilfes were utility grade shooters, and their main value is as a shooter- not as a collector's item. In fair condition, most retail for $100-$150. Good rifles. EDIT: DID find a listing- the model 49 "Challenge" was only listed on the Stevens price list for one year-1929. Was priced at $6.

Stevens bolt-action with a cylinder.... What are all the markings on the gun? sales@countrygunsmith.net
Check the receiver and barrel.
with a serial number of E261611
Serial numbers were not required before 1968. If it has one, check under the forearm, on the barrel and on the action.
Stevens 12 ga, Model 77D, made before 1968 may not have a serial number. However, some do! If it has a serial number, it will be behind the trigger on the receiver side.
It may not have one. Older, less costly guns often did not have a serial number if they were made before 1968.
If it has both the Stevens and Savage names it was made sometime after the mid 1940's. If it has no serial number, it was made before 1969.
These savage/stevens model 94c were made from 1929-1942.long before serial numbers were mandated by the gun control act of 1968.So there is a strong possability that your stevens does noy have a serial number.
We cannot tell from a serial number alone. You might check with Savage Firearms customer service (They own the Stevens brand)
your savage Stevens model 125 was made between 1912-1923 with total production being 5,000.
Where is serial number on stevens 311c 410?
