J.Stevens Shotgun Identification help

reed1976
i recently picked up what i believe to be a j.stevens single shot shotgun at a local pawnshop.It was on the rack marked unidentified mfgr.It had alot of surface rust on it,so i gave up the $20 and took a chance on it,i got it home and took some steel wool to it,3 hours later and after disassembly i came up with these markings.On the top of the barrell it reads patented august 12 1913.On the underside of the barrell it reads 376 RR.On the underside of the upper stock it reads 376 RR,i also found a small piece of leather which i assume is for cushioning.Now the best i can tell it is a j.stevens gun,but the few i have been able to find have stevens engraved on the the side of the receiver.Have a found a gem,or just a plain old gun??I am restoring the gun and only plan on firing it once and putting it away.Any help on identifying this gun would be sooooo helpful,ive been trying to identify it for days,please e-mail me at redneck1976321@hotmail.com or post if you have any info at all,is there any value to this gun??Is it Rare??THANKS

    Hammer or hammerless? M.220 was a hammerless single shot,they also made one in 22 Hornet and other rifle cartridges called M.219.Hard to find out about these old gals.Kinda like they were shady ladies of the gun world,nobody wants to admit they knew them. I have a book written about the Stevens/Savage union that tells a bunch of unknown things about both.If you would send me a picture and full description,I'll do what I can to resolve your questions.modoc
