Stevens made the model 70 from 1907 to 1932 or so and cycled through production numbers of A 1 to Z 999 three or more times. Best guess (1932-1907 / 2 =12 : 1907+12=1919 ) Call it 1920 easier to remember. Hope this helps.
It can not be any older than 1907
I have a Stevens Visible Loading .22, adn the serial number is on the underside of the rifle, on the extended metal that goes from the trigger guard into the stock. It's quite visible. Ed
1928

Stevens Visible Loader rifles in good condition are selling in the $150-$200 range. Truly excellent examples will bring more. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Stevens 12 ga, Model 77D, made before 1968 may not have a serial number. However, some do! If it has a serial number, it will be behind the trigger on the receiver side.
2010.
If the "U337" is stamped on the lower tang it is the serial and not the model number. There was a really large range of serials like this used on Favorites and Visible loaders.
These savage/stevens model 94c were made from 1929-1942.long before serial numbers were mandated by the gun control act of 1968.So there is a strong possability that your stevens does noy have a serial number.
We cannot tell from a serial number alone. You might check with Savage Firearms customer service (They own the Stevens brand)
