What is the company name on the receiver? From 1940 to 1946, that was the J. Stevens Arms Co. No. 22-410 with the Tenite stock and forearm. After WW-II Savage Arms Corp. consolidated their firearms operations at their old Stevens factories in Chicopee Falls. In the 1947 Savage/Stevens/Fox/Springfield catalogue the gun was still the Stevens No. 22-410. In the 1948 and 1949 Savage/Stevens/Fox catalogues the gun was the Stevens Model 22-410, still with the Tenite stock. I don't have the 1950 Savage/Stevens/Fox catalogue, but by 1951, the gun was stocked in American Walnut and called the Savage Model 24.
Beautiful work. kind of smacks of Leonard Mews to my eyes.
