J Stevens 22long rifle


Question
I have a rifle that was left to me by my dad. I don't know were or when he got it. The rifle reads -J Stevens arm co. pat. APR 22 1913. I think? Next line -Ckoopee Falls,(MASS) I thought they were in N.Y.?  Made in USA   22-long rifle. on left side of gun above and in front of the cocking lever it says crack shot. in a circle in front of the stock are the letters SVG.

Answer
Hi Cyndy,

J. Stevens Arm. Co. ....... In 1864 it did begin business as the J. Stevens & Company Chicopee Falls, Mass. In 1888 it became the J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company. In 1894 Savage purchased Stevens and they were located in New York however continued to manufacture the rifle under "J. Stevens" into the 1920's.

The Crackshot in "good" condition has a retail value of $125 to $225.

Thanks for the question.

Additional....... I intended to offer in first post.
The Crackshot is also known in two model versions, the No. 26 and as a reintroduced version, the model 72 which was introduced in 1972. The No.26 was made between 1912 and 1939. srl.
