J STEVENS A&T CO. SINGLE 20 GA
Description:
Guns Listing ID: 659502
You’ve got another classic old American single-shot—marked “J. Stevens A&T Co.", which stands for J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company.
?? What it likely is
Type: Single-shot, break-action shotgun
Gauge: 20 gauge
Era: Pre-1916 (that exact marking was used before the company name changed)
Origin: Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts
These were made during the period when Stevens was one of the biggest gunmakers in the U.S.
?? Model identification (why it’s tricky)
Here’s the honest reality:
Many of these don’t have a clear model number
Could be one of several:
Early hammer or hammerless single-shot variants
Later designs that evolved into models like the 94
From collector discussions:
Hammerless versions = usually older (pre-1916)
Hammer guns = often later but still early 1900s
?? Bottom line: without more markings, it’s usually just identified as a “Stevens single-shot" rather than a precise model.
??? Age estimate
Because of the marking:
“J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co." = roughly 1886–1916
Most 20-gauge singles like yours:
?? Commonly 1900–1915 range
So you’re looking at a 100+ year old shotgun.
