Trying to reconcile J. Stevens Arms Company rollstamps on a Walnut Hill 22lr and a 44 1/2 Special Scheutzen (like) 22lr  with serial numbers 1806 and 6709 respectively. Both with full round bbls. Did Westinghouse start the series numbering over post war?

Hi Phil, here are 2 more for your list;
#8193, .32rf, 7 o'clock ext., 28" barrel, flats flush to receiver, Swiss butt
#48438, 25/20ss, plain vanilla 44 w/26" barrel
both have the A&T roll stamp.

Hi Phil,
No luck with the pictures of #8193, I am not having any luck reducing the size.
Under the barrel is stamped a "2". I have always assumed that to be the barrel weight marking on Stevens but my other 44 has a much smaller barrel and also has the "2". Front of the receiver has a "0" and a "44" which makes me think the swiss buttplate is not original to the gun. So I pulled it off and sure enough, it is stamped with a 22,000 something number.
You are right, most 32rf 44's have a 24" barrel. This one with it's weight and length is a real crowbar.
The screws are the smaller ones.
Hoping this info is of some use,
Dennis

The screws miked .254"

BTW some years ago I downloaded the freeware version of a software call IRFANVIEW.   It does an amazing amount of useful stuff - editing, cropping, markup, converting from one file format to another, and reducing the file size for internet posting.

Runs on XP, Vista, 7 and 10.   Being as I'm one of those dinosaurs who won't give up XP-Pro, it's perfect for me.

There almost certainly is a "war gap", but I haven't yet found any evidence to place it with any precision in the serial number sequence.  There's the stamping on the side that is believed to have appeared after the Savage takeover in 1920, when it's also believed by some that the "A&T" was dropped from the barrel rollstamp.  But then we find many examples with Savage-era receiver markings but with the older "A&T" barrel stamp.  Were they just using up pre-War stock?  Who knows?

Model 414 began in 1912, according the Sharpe, and the lowest s/n I have logged is 61189.  Then the diamond stamp on the left of the receiver appears at 69603, so that at least in theory brackets the War, but only very approximately.  The time frame is eight years, if sources are to be believed.

FWIW the very highest s/n I have logged is a 414, number 90248.  Again referring to Sharpe, 1932 was the end of the 414 line.  After 1932 all the 44-framed models were dubbed 417 and 418, and had their own serial number sequence.  I have not been logging those.  

One might reasonably infer that Stevens produced about 70,000 guns prior to 1920, and 20,000 from 1920 to 1932.  But trying to guess how many had been made up to 1916 is next to impossible.  

Data!  I need date-able data!

Yes, I'm still logging data.  With a Beach front sight, you might have a Model 45, although more likely the Beach was ordered an an option on a 44.  Any sign that there was ever a tang sight mounted?  A Beach front is usually found with a tang rear.
