Answer
Hi Van,

The shotgun is a Stevens model 311H hammerless boxlock. The "H" is nothing more than the series.

On the ones that I've seen, the pistol grip on the stock was checkered and not the forearm. So your guess concerning same may be correct.

As a guide and not a quote, the gun in "good" condition should bring about $350 retail. If it has a vent-rib perhaps up to $400. With "good" being about the mid retail price range, you can add or subtract a bit depending upon the condition of the actual gun in question.

Thanks for the question.
