Not really, what you found was an assemblers mark after there done fitting the pieces together.
If it's Stevens and doesn't say Savage, it's an early 24, actually a 22/410, don't think they even called them 24's till Savage took over.
Made before 1949 for sure. Funny that it's in such good condition for it's age.

When I took it to my local FFL to have new fire pins put in it he said he had never seen one in this shape. I'll try to post pics once I figure out how to. I have several over unders and this one takes the cake by far. By the way it shoots AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I've got a 24DL in 22/410 and it's a great little bird gun, gonna add a peep sight to it I think though.
Also have a Savage 242 410/410 that I've never had in the bush yet, probably never will, it doesn't have a scratch on it, looks like it just came out the factory door.

Don't blame ya a bit for keeping in factory.
Just put a few rounds through both barrels, what a sweat heart. Next weekend should be rabbits and squirrels with grand kids.
