    Springfield is/was? a Trade Name used by Savage on some of their economy grade firearms. It would be one of the standard Savage doubles with a lessor finish and perhaps plainer grade of wood for the stock. You might contact customer service at Savage, for the information you are seeking.

    EDIT #1, I don't know about your gun, but some of the older economy grade shotguns made before 1968, didn't have serial numbers. This didn't become a legal requirement till the passage of the GCA 68.

    As ruf-snow said, the gun is a "Trade Brand Name" shotgun made by Savage/Stevens.
    Contact Savage at the following address for more information:

    There is a $15.00 research fee per gun.
