Your Mossberg was made prior to 1968, and will not have a serial number unless made for the US Military. SNs were not required by law on rifle and shotguns until 1968. Patent Pending means that a patent has been applied for- but not yet granted- on some mechanism in that rifle.
Between 1938 and Oct. 14, 1941Savage who owned Stevens filled for patent number 2259397 for a firing pin selector on 4/11/1940 and had it granted on 10/14/1941. This puts your Stevens in production with the words patent pending anywhere between the production start date in 1938 and the granting of the patent. A provisional patent may have been filed 18 months prior to the application being submitted sometime in late 1938. Tenite was used prewar as well as during and post. I have a prewar patent pending Tenite stocked .22/.410. 1938-50This gun was manufactured as the 22-410 from 1938-1950. A walnut stock will indicate an earlier model, tenite plastic a later model.
Made from 1932-1936. Value can reach $400 in excellent condition. sales@countrygunsmith.net
