Description:
Manufactured from 1893 to 1939. Fixed sights on a barrel marked with the two line Stevens A. & T. address/Apr.17.1894 patent date marking behind the rear sight and "32-LONG" on the upper left flat. Mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with checkered hard rubber buttplate embossed with "STEVENS / FAVORITE".
Excellent condition overall. The barrel retains most of it’s original blue finish with some minor thinning here and there. The action and lever retain majority of original case colors with some minor spotting. The most noteworthy finish flaw in my opinion is heavy finish wear behind the rear sight where cleaning was attempted at some point probably to better read the manufacture markings. The wood is also in good condition with some scattered minor nicks and wear marks consistent with age
