The rifle that you are describing is the same model that I am refurbishing for my Grandson. It was called "The Boys Gun." This was a gun that a father would buy for the sons first gun. I am just a novice but, I have lived in the Hampden county of Massachusetts [which includes Chicopee Falls, and Westfield, MA].
The stamping on your Gun is the same as mine with the exception of the number stamped on the bottom of the action case. Your number, 201 and my number, 682, I think is the production number of the gun. This would put your rifle closer to the date that the patent was issued. The information stamped on the top of the barrel shows the manufacturer [J, Stevens Arms & Tool Company]. First factory was in Chicopee Falls, MA, [They also made machine tools and guages and were in competition with the Starret tool company in Athol, MA]. Until they moved to the Westfield, MA plant of the Savage arms, the guns made in Westfield, carried the name of both Stevens and Savage until the stevens Name was dropped. The rest of the stamping on the gun, is the year that the gun was patented [USA patented april 1894]. I have seen a few of these guns for sale any where from $175.00 to $1000.00 - depending on the shape of the gun. Our gun has been handed down since new. We do not know the date that it was purchased or when it was manufactured.
