In my 1930 Stevens Springfield illustrated wholesale price list they have the No. 94 which has a Walnut finish stock, is available in 12-, 16-, 20- and .410-gauges, and is said to weigh about 6 pounds. Then there is a small frame lightweight 4 1/2 pound version just in .410-gauge called the No. 948.
The No. 95 has a Walnut stock, is available in 12-, 16-, 20-, 24-, 28-, and .410-gauges, and has a weight of about 6 pounds. There is also a small frame light weight 4 1/2 pound version in 32- and .410-gauges called the No. 958.
The final Springfield single for 1930 is the No. 96 which is essentially a No. 95 in 12-, 16- or 20-gauge with a Jostam Anti-Flinch recoil pad.
For 1931 the offerings were the same with the addition of a No. 94R in 12-, 16-, or 20-gauges with the Jostam Anti-Flinch recoil pad. By 1933 the No. 95, 958 and 96 are gone and the No. 948 is renumbered No. 944. I don't have anything for 1934, 5 or 6, but by 1937 the .410-gauges are chambered 3-inch and Springfield single barrels are just the No. 94 and No. 944, and the same for 1938. In 1940 you could also get a No. 94P in 12-, 16- or 20-gauge with an Aero-Dyne Poly-Choke. Only the No. 94 and 94P in 1941, the No. 944 is gone.
After WW-II there was a Stevens Model 94 (with Tentite stock in 1948) that had an action that looked totally different then these pre-War guns.
