J Stevens 22 single shot

Question
My dad has a J Stevens 22 single shot long rifle with the number 973 on it. Made by J Stevens Arms Company in Chicopee Falls, Mass.We are trying to find out how old it is and the value.Can anyone help us?  

Answer
Libby,

Sorry I can't be of more help, but after digging around on the web, I don't have enough info to provide an answer.  I need a model name or number.  The J. Stevens company literally manufactured millions of rifles in this caliber over a period of time ranging from the late 1890s to the the 1970s and possibly later.  If there are any other markings on the barrel that would help narrow it down.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
