hello all, a friend of mine recently was given a pair of guns that had belonged to his grandfather. one is a handgun so is the subject of a different forum but the other is a stevens/savage model 87A. I have been trying to do some research for him but i'm finding a lot of conflicting information from site to site so I was wondering if I could get some coroberating information on TFL.

I was wondering what period this gun would have been manufactured?
is it a stevens with savage stamped on it?
is it a savage with stevens stamped on it?
how much would it be worth(we'll say high ball and lowball prices)?

it is showing a little surface rust and the stock is dinged in places but it's in very good condition for sitting in a closet for 6+ decades.

thank you all ahead of time for your help.
