Savage has owned the Stevens name, as well as "Springfield", "Ranger", "Riverside", "Westfield", and several others, since as early as the mid-1920's.
Stevens was, at one time, the largest, most prolific gunmaker in the WORLD - and made literally millions of double barreled shotguns under a multitude of brand names for themselves, other gun companies, and chain stores like Sears, Western Field & Montgomery Ward. The vast majority of the double guns were hammerless, double-trigger boxlocks - that most folks refer to generically as the "Model 311 type", after the most popular/latest version, the Stevens Model 311. Without good, clear/bright pix of the action sides, and the overall gun w/stock(s), it will be hard to pin the exact model down further. . |
