Mike,
I don't have enough Stevens paper to make any kind of definitive statement, but it seems from what I have that in the early to mid-1920s their cheaper then Stevens line was called "Riverside Arms Co." and from at least 1930 on it was Springfield. I don't see anything Springfield in my 1928 Stevens paper, I don't have anything dated 1929, but in their 1930 Wholesale Price list they have all kinds of Springfield models but no Riverside, and that continues thru the 1930s and into the early 1940s.
I do have a 1929 Stoeger catalogue and page 19 is Riverside and Springfield Shotguns. The two Springfields are the No. 94 single barrel and the No. 311 double barrel hammerless. By the 1932 Stoeger there is a page of Springfield and Davis Shotguns.
