I am convinced that I have confused some.  I am left handed and as a result re-stock for convenience to me.  I will put the rifle back together with the original butt-stock and forearm and take some more pictures with it assembled the way it was when I got it.  The original butt stock and forearm are shown as loose items.  I just assumed two and two would be put together.  Bad assumption on my part.

I probably have as many Stevens as anyone here but do not consider myself an expert buy any means. Case color looks right to me. Stock finish looks a little on the shiney side but could be correct. The more I learn about the Stevens guns, the less I think I actualy know.

After 1920 when Savage took over Stevens, production of both the Ideal Rifle (44 Action) and the 414 were continued until about 1932.  I have an Ideal in 22LR in about 95% condition that was made during that time period and it shows the later style case color, the same as in your 414.  I also have a pre-WWI Model 47 (44 1/2 Action) that was originally ordered with fancy checkered wood.  It was returned to Stevens after 1920 and fitted with a heavy round 22LR barrel.  At the same time, a new matching forearm was fitted and the receiver was re-case colored in the later style. The barrel was numbered to the receiver and has the later style Stevens stamp used after 1920.  Since the 414 was made both before and after 1920, it is reasonably safe to assume that they will be found with both the later "pack hardened" color used by Savage and the cynaide process used by Stevens prior to WWI.

Are you looking for something in particular? I have restocked several for my self always keep the originals as they were removed.  I know I have a couple but would just have to look.

Smoke,
On second thought, I am looking for a lefthand stock and matching fore end for a BSA Martini 12/15.
