Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Visible Loading Repeater, commonly (and eventually officially) shortened to Visible Loader, was introduced in 1908, and products based on its action were in production through 1934. (This type, which was known in the catalog as the Model 70 or No. 70, was replaced in 1931 by a slightly different version, the No. 71, but the action was the same.)
It's impossible to date these with much certainty thanks to the loss of the company's records from before World War II , but from this one's markings we can work out that it was made sometime between 1920 and 1925.
We know it's from before around 1925 because the markings on top still say "Visible Loading Repeater"; this was changed to Visible Loader a little while after Savage bought Stevens. Nobody seems to know exactly when, but the usual best guess is circa 1925. We know it's from 1920 or later because that's when the Savage takeover happened, and the left side of the receiver has an SVG cartouche.
Condition and Contents:
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Stevens is in good condition showing what we believe to be only normal evidence of use and handling over the years for a gun of this incredible age!
