The Savage made Stevens model 44’s with full round barrels, also had the upside down roll stamp on the right side of the barrel.

Recently I acquired a Stevens 45, 44 1/2 with No.3(?) full octagon (flush with receiver) that has the role stamp (upside down) on the right, 45 degree barrel flat. Caliber is stamped on left 45 degree flat. Barrel numbers to the action.
With an upside down role stamp on the right barrel flat, it reads rightside up when the rifle is held by a right handed shooter. So it does kind'a make sense, IMO.
It appears as though such upside down role stamps are out there.

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

How about upside down with half size lettering?

Late model 44 1/2 with Stevens arms trademark on left side of the action. Appears scope mounted from factory.

The bidding on the Stevens 51 went to $2600, but the seller’s reserve wasn’t met, and the listing ended without re-listing.
