Stevens (Savage) Model 5100 side-by-side 12-guage 2 3/4" double-barrel shotgun

[OldEagleEye67]

On the left side of the receiver is stamped:


              STEVENS               
SAVAGE ARMS CORPORATION
  CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A.

On the lower left of the stamping is a stamping/engraving of what looks like a lab retriever sniffing and pointing out a downed fowl.

On the right side of the receiver is just a 5100 stamp just slightly behind and below the right breech.

I cannot find any serial number stamp.  Does anyone know where I might find that?

Thanks in advance,

It predates the GCA1968 where serial numbers are required, so there possibly isn't a serial..  I have an old Stevens singleshot with no serial. The Savage/Stevens name was produced in that factory between 1920 and 1960, when that plant closed and moved to Westfield Mass.

If it is not on the outside bottom front of the receiver then I think it will be on a tang or flat area of the inside part of the receiver once you break it open. It may be old enough not to have one though, as GM mentioned.
