It's a model 107B. Made sometime between 1920 and 1948, but I think the tenite stocks were not used until after WWII. Can't tell you if ANY ammo is safe to use in it without seeing it, but it was DESIGNED for modern powders, probably 2 3/4 inch shells (3 inch if it is a 410) in whatever gauge fits the chamber. It was not designed for steel shot, but it would not cause catastrophic failure if used, just accelerated wear to the barrel. May not want to use slugs unless a gunsmith has verified that it is not tightly choked. If you plan on shooting an older gun when you do not know what type of care it has had, always have an experienced smith check it first and don't believe anything (except this statement) that you read on the web.
Sometime between 1920 and 1948.

Springfield Arms shotguns were manufactured by the Stevens division of Savage Arms from 1920 to 1948.
The Springfield Model 84 was made by J. Stevens Arms Company, Chicopee, Mass.
Yes, I believe it was. I have a Model 53-B (single shot .22LR) and it says on the barrel 'SPRINGFIELD MODEL 53-B, Manufactured by J. Stevens Arms Co., Chicopee Falls, Mass. U.S.A.'
Stevens/Savage used the Springfield name from about 1915 to 1947 or 48. Parts are where ever you can find them. You might try to contact Savage Arms directly or Numrich Arms (http://www.e-gunparts.com) or your local gunsmith.
I too would like some information regarding a 20 gauge J. Stevens Arms Company 'Springfield' double barrel shotgun, the only other markings are 5000 on the right side plate and a circled 22 near the trigger guard.
