These will appear on the bbls at the underside rear by the major lug. There are some(the Model 375/385 Hammerless Boxlock) that has London Proofs. They used the same basic design for the Stevens,Riverside,Super Value and Springfield brands. The dropped them from the catalog in 1988. It has operated as an independent Division ever since. It stayed that way until 1920 when it was taken over by Savage Arms Company. That was used until 1888 when the name was changed to: J.Stevens Arms & Tool Company. The company was founded in 1864 and the name used was 'J.Stevens & Company There are other dealers(like our host) who may also be checked Try: The best bet, once you establish the EXACT model and its vintage is to monitor the firearms parts auction sites like E-Bay or Gunbroker Our host does,from time to time acquire a parts gun,but since they maintain a WISH List of people looking for this part you have to get in line. It(on this model and many others) is one of the most lost or misplaced gun parts in the world Second only to magazines but likely ahead of bolt assys There are serveral companies still making wood for these guns but NOBODY making the forend iron. It would appear that you are seeking a forend assy. This is the good news.the bad is just a guess but From that you can check on what the comapny catalogged in that time period They have a form that asks for certain data.we need the same dataДЄs an example, the Stevens co(who was acquired by Savage) actually had several names they used(buisness got tough and a reorganaztion changed the name) The format that name takes(as it is atamped on the gun) dates the gun. You can get a positive ID from the on line appraisal site run by the Blue Book of Gun Values. The Standard Catalog of Firearms shows the many variations. The basic Stevens gun is patterned after the model 311. The same basic design was used on guns with several names and a different design under the name of FOX. Many of which were side by side double barrel shotguns. has made firearms since the Civil War days. You really haven't given enough data to make a positive ID.
