Well, I hit the gun lottery. I just came into a Favorite Ladies Model at a price that makes me feel guilty. Serial #117, all matching numbers with near flawless wood and no abuse other than a poor bore. Beech front sight with an ivory bead and fine pinhead, buckhorn rear and a Lyman tang sight with a target disc. Fancy curved butt plate with an Elk and the Stevens banner, no chips or cracks. An honest 75% original bluing with no scratches or dings. No case colors show because way long ago the receiver was varnished and it has turned a dark, almost  black color which is not unattractive. The Bluing on the perfect screws is bright and shiny. I'm wondering if anyone knows the production numbers for this model. I've researched it the best that I can but have drawn a blank and any help would be welcome. This rifle is an exquisite example of gilded age gun making and is now a jewel in my collection.
