Pretty Pocket Carry Single Shot TARGET Pistol

Here we present a C&R J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company “Tip-up” Single Shot .22 Caliber Rimfire Target Pistol with “Savage” marked Pearl Grips, made circa the turn of the century. 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.

By 1915, Stevens was a leader in the American arms business as a maker of hunting guns and creator of the .22 LR round. 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.
