J. STEVENS A&T New Model Pocket Rifle No. 40 MATCHING # SHOULDER Stock C&R
Single Shot Tip-Up Pistol mfg. circa 1896 to 1916
Here we present a C&R J. Stevens A&T New Model Pocket Rifle No. 40 made circa 1896 to 1916 in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts with a total of 15,000 manufactured. Included are two wire skeleton shoulder stocks with one numbered to the gun. This example has a tip-up barrel and is a single shot pistol in .22 rimfire. Stevens, well known for its Tip-Up Pistols, Boy’s Rifles, and Sporting Rifles, got its start in Chicopee Falls at the closing years of the Civil War in 1864. Stevens Arms was founded by Joshua Stevens with help from backers W.B. Fay and James Taylor in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, in 1864 as J. Stevens & Co. Their earliest product was a tip-up action single shot pistol.
In 1886, the company was reorganized and incorporated as J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. The business was able to grow steadily with tool manufacturing and sales now accounting for the bulk of the business output. Between 1838 and 1864, Joshua Stevens worked for other New England gun makers, including Samuel Colt, Eli Whitney, Cyrus Allen, Edwin Wesson, and the Mass. Arms Co. In 1864, Joshua Stevens started his own factory in Chicopee Falls, Mass. at the age of 50 with 2 partners, James Taylor and W. B. Fay.
The overall condition is good. This example is nicely refinished. Excellent action. The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. Solid grips contain only average handling wear. “ERN” is hand inscribed on the left grip. Numbers match, including the stock. An extra, non-matching stock is included.
