This one has a capital letter C prefix ahead of a six digit number and it appears only on the left side of the frame.ĭo you know the significance of this C letter prefix? Can I determine the date of manufacture from this letter? Do letter prefixes occur on other versions of the Stevens 311? I have seen Stevens 311s with no serial numbers at all. Other Stevens-made doubles I own have ‘plain' serial numbers, none over five digits, on the frame, barrels and fore end.
I have just bought a Stevens Model 311 double for my collection.
