Long Barreled J. STEVENS A.&T. Company .22 RF TIP UP Single Shot C&R Pistol Early 20th CENTURY Single Shot TARGET Pistol
Description: Long Barreled J. STEVENS A.&T. Company .22 RF TIP UP Single Shot C&R Pistol Early 20th CENTURY Single Shot TARGET Pistol Here we present a C&R J. Stevens A&T Company “Tip-up” Single Shot .22 Caliber Long Barrel Target Pistol, made circa 1910. 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. With the factory starting at the end of the civil war, many gun manufacturers went under due to the surplus of guns flooding in. J. Stevens Arms Company went on to become the largest producer of sporting firearms in the world. By 1915, Stevens was a leader in the American arms business as a maker of target and small game hunting guns. Beginning on July 1, 1916, Stevens rifles and pistols would be marked J. Stevens Arms Company. There are no Stevens records to give a more exact date. Overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age with strong rifling.
