[FordMan08]

I took this out of the safe today for its annual cleaning. I just love this little gun. Its stamped Springfield Arms Company Chicopee Falls,Mass USA Pat.APR 20-1915 Its a 410 hamerless double barrel. I have never seen one in this good condition before. Figured I'd share it with you guys.

That is a SWEET .410, and likely worth a pretty penny these days.

Great SxS!

That is one of the finest examples of an early Sprinfield I've ever seen. Absolutly beautiful! I have a few Lefever's very similiar, but different.

A little info on similiar guns made in the same area, in the same time frame:

Double-Barrel Shotguns
The Springfield Arms Co. was bought by Stevens who used
the Springfield brand name on many good quality single and
double-barrel shotguns. Values range from $100 to $1,600 depending
on model, gauge, and condition. See also Stevens.


STEVENS ARMS CO., J.
Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts
In 1864 this firm began doing business as J. Stevens & Company.
In 1888 it was incorporated as the J. Stevens Arms &
Tool Company. It operated as such until 1920, when it was taken
over by the Savage Arms Company. It has operated as an
independent division in this organization since. This company
produced a great many firearms—most that were of an affordable
nature. They are widely collected, and one interested in
them should take advantage of the literature available on the
subject.

STEVENS DOUBLE-BARREL SHOTGUNS
The firm of J. Stevens and its successors produced a number
of utility-grade, side-by-side double-barrel shotguns between
1877 and 1988. They are chambered for 10, 12, 16, or 20 gauge as well as the .410 bore. Stevens shotguns in 10 gauge
and .410 bore will normally bring a premium as do guns with single triggers and ejectors. They have various length barrels and choke combinations. They feature double triggers and extractors
except where noted. A complete list of Stevens brand models including the three in-house brands: Riverside, Springfield, and Super Value, are listed.
