I'm trying to gather information about a shotgun I own. I am hoping to figure out when it was made and exactly what model it is. It is a Springfield single shot 410 with a 24" barrel, exposed hammer, automatic ejector and a case hardened finish on the receiver. Any help is appreciated.
On the left side of the action it says:
SPRINGFIELD
MANUFACTURED BY
J.STEVENS ARMS COMPANY
CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A.
On the right side of the action there is a little 21 with a circle around it
On the left side of the barrel it says PROOF TESTED 410 GAUGE
On the right side of the barrel it says SELECTED FORGED STEEL
On the underside of the barrel underneath where the forearm covers and underneath a piece that connects to the receiver there is an H and below that is what I'm guessing the serial number 99454
On that piece that connects to the receiver that the serial number is under there is a 4 and a 7
Inside the receiver on the left side the serial number 99454 appears again but with a C at the end of it
Inside the stock where it mates up with the receiver 99454 appears again
