Butch welcome; I did a search on Google and it listed a few places on cross references for parts and found a couple for sale for $60.00-$75.00. I know this isn't much info but that is about all I could find. Although when I was young I bought one at auction for $20.00 but that was more years ago than I care to remember.

Hi Butch.......welcome to TFF.

Savage/Stevens manufactured a number of utility-grade rifles/shotguns under the "Springfield" tradename.

Your bolt action, clip fed, Springfield Model 18 is probably very similar to the Stevens Models 258, 38, or 58.

Values are:

V.G. - $100

Good - $75

Fair - $50

Very similar gun a local pawnshop here marked at $110.00. Mag is in bad shape, but appears functional. Seems kinda high. They have a Mod 37 Winny in .410 for $229 OUCH!

Buddy of mine, years ago, had a .410 like yours - cut way down - used it as a great backpacking snake/dinner gun. That was way back when you could walk the AT with a gun and not get weird looks from the various tree huggers.

I am in need of information on a Springfield Model 947, Savage Arms Corporation. The barrel nomenclature KG-32. When they were made beginnig of production and the last year they were made. This is a 410 single shot break down fire arm. What would the age be on this shotgun.
