Steven Savage 311a Manufacturer Date Help!

[Researcher]

You are looking in the wrong place. Beginning in 1949, with A, this little oval on the bottom of the frame, just back of the forearm iron is the date code.

F 1954.jpg
F = 1954

If the gun is a J. Stevens Arms Co. from before that time you are out of luck.

Thank you! This one looks like 26I. 1957. Do you have a clue as to what the 26 is referring to? Curiosity is a killer.
