How do you find out when a Stevens Model 34 Bolt Action was made and what its value is?

Answer 1

I'm sorry I don't have the answer... especially since I also own the same gun. It's been in my family since the mid 60's and I believe when my father bought this rifle it was new in the box. I still have it today.. and it seems to shoot pretty well. I would love to know a little more about it but I don't expect that it's worth much to anyone other than me.

Are these rifles or shotguns? The only Stevens Model 34 in the Standard Catalog is a tip-up pocket rifle, not a bolt action. You can tell the approximate age of a Stevens by the way the name is marked. J. Stevens and Company = 1864-1886. J. Stevens Arms and Tool Co = 1886-1916. J. Stevens Arms Co = 1920-late 1940's. Stevens (sometimes Stevens Savage) = 1940's-1991 and after 1998. No Stevens firearms were manufactured 1917-1919 or 1992-1998.

I just purchased one from a rather large store/dealer and paid $55 (June 2006). It is a rifle, the barrel reads STEVENS Savage Arms Westfield Mass USA .22 short, long or long rifle MODEL 34. I didn't buy it as a collectible, just like the gun and the price. It's a bolt action with a magazine, no serial number. Would love to find a schematic!
