Nice https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/67/768/stevens-j-arms-co-s-x-s-shotgun-12The barrels are "English Damascus Twist", Damas Anglais Coupe', Gebrochener Englischer Damast, or Combination Damascus  'FB' was likely the Liege tube maker, but I can't ID It does not appear to have a 'step' at the end of the chambers for brass shells, but please have a double gun specialist check the chambers and barrel wall thickness before use. Who was 'Red'?

Nice find. It looks like a rationalised hammer gun design, that does away with the weak points of the SXS. There are no locks to weaken the stock, the lock work is internal and protected, and from what I can see most likely it has a trigger plate setup. I wonder if the springs are coil.
Looking at robust guns like this, makes you wonder what could have been done if aesthetics were combined with robustness.

The breech balls are shaped a lot like my Remington 1889.

Who was 'Red'? Thanks for the info Mr. Hause. unfortunately I don't think there is a ture double gun specialist in Arkansas. I will probably send it off to someone. I'm guessing Mr. Hamlin in Missouri is retired? Not sure who Red is or was but it would be neat to know.

I did take the barrels off at lunch and they do have a nice ring to them on both sides with no indication of any dead spots.

Buck Hamlin is still in business but does not use a computer so a phone call is a must.

It would be nice "if the barrels are safe" to have someone take it apart and clean and fix anything that needed to be address. Could Mr. Hamlin or Bachelders handle such a odd duck?
Mr. Hamlin is within driving distance.
