Springfield 1915 .410 shotgun... info???

[Wedge]

Hello guys.. I am trying to determine a value on this shotgun and I am hoping one or more of you can help me out.

It is marked: "Springfield Arms Company, Chicopee Falls, Mass. USA. Pat. April 1915" Also has the number 22 with a circle around it on the underside of the gun in the metal just before where it breaks open.

Barrel is marked: "selected forged steel, proof tested .410 gauge"

Missing most of the blueing on the receiver. Barrel is dull but bore is shiney. Also as you can see in one of the pics it has a crack in the stock that has been repaired... Any ideas on model and value?? links to pics below.

THANKS!!

I have the same exact model, except in 12 ga with factory 20" bbls. Real nice skeet gun (or riot!). Looks like the receiver is casehardened, not blued. How does it shoot? Don't know the value. Sorry.

Wedge, the shotgun pictured is a Springfield Model 311. This model was originally produced under the Springfield name from 1931-1948. In 1948 Stevens took over production through 1989. Your Model 311 could be worth about $125-$150 in its current condition. You can visit the Small Arms Shop to see a list of replacement parts for this shotgun. Hope this helps!
