The Model 1915 Favorites were made from 1915 up until WWII. Some say the official end of production was in 1932, others say 1935, but the fact is these guns were sold into 1939, possibly from parts cleanup. There is little to date a 1915 except two possible features. The standard receiver finish was blueing. However, a few early 1915s were made on order and at extra cost with a color cased finish. Likely few if any were made with color casing after WWI or so. The other tell-tale is having a Savage marking on the gun.
Savage bought Stevens in 1920, and Stevens firearms started getting an SVG or similar trademark put on them. If a Savage trademark is missing, then the gun was made sometime in 1920 or earlier. Now, a caution. The Model 1915 is the least desirable of the Stevens Favorite models. The reason is it has little in common with the earlier versions made from 1894 to 1914. The machining is less finished.
The breechblock is a flat topped block of metal, instead of being gracefully curved on its backside. The trigger geometry for trigger pull is inferior. The worst aspect is the breech lockup. Earlier Favorites had the breech block locking up against the rear receiver wall.
The 1915 depends on the toggle link for lockup, and this is definitely inferior. It makes for a 'looser' action, and it is susceptible to wear. It's not a good idea to be shooting high or hyper velocity ammo in any Favorite, but especially not in a 1915. No high speed 22 ammo. Stick to.22 CB Longs, Longs, subsonics, and.22 LR target loads only.
And on my 1915 I put a small dab of anti-seize on a q-tip and just barely coat the lock up points for the breech block, to help prevent wear. If the gun is in good shape and you stick to the above ammo, it should last many years to come.
Thanks Brian! This one has the SVC stamp on it as you can see in the first photo.

I kinda figured it was an late '20's gun from the way the bluing has aged. Bypass cpanel license reseller. I did get it out and shoot it yesterday using some standard 1080fps CCI's and it shot really nice at 50 yards. I followed up with some 25 yard shooting using CCI Longs and it shot a lot better than I was going to give it credit for. This one still locks up really nice. Great tip about the anti-seize.
