I have a Stevens model 311A and would like to know an approximate year of manufacture and value. I was reading a similar post and there was a series of letters and numbers for dating, but mine only has letters.
Top of one barrel it says; proof tested 12 gauge
2 ¾” Chamber
Top of right barrel it says; Selected Forged Steel
Left side of gun: Stevens 311
Savage Arms Corporation
Chicago, Ill.
On the other side it says; Stevens 311 A
Open the breach and on the left it has stamped the letters
K S ( A in a circle) then (G in a circle) then the letter A
On the right side it is stamped the Greek symbol “Omega” (fancy looking U)
not the actual word Omega, just the symbol.
The wood is in Very Mint condition, I refinished the wood when I was 13 (1963). It was handed down to me from my grandfather, but I don't know how long he had it prior to 1963. He was a horse trader, I know he didn't get it new.
