Recently my grandfather gave me a Stevens 311E double barrel 20 gauge shotgun from his collection. The sentimental value of the gun outweighs any dollar figure I could assign to it. Plus I just like it. I plan to hold onto it. Still, I am curious the age and value.
Overall condition is very good. There is some slight marring of the wood stock where the break over lever action is located.
I understand the markings on the barrel where it breaks open is key to identifying year of manufacture. One barrel appears to have a circle with a W in it. The other barrel has a circle with an 18W or 19W; it's hard for me to tell for certain. Serial is either A398*** or A388*** as the bottom part of that second digit isn't readable to me.
Any help is much appreciated.
