The No. 345, "The Sportsman's Ideal" first appears in J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co. Catalog No. 54 --





A bit interesting that the No. 345 was only made for 2 1/2 inch shells when they were also making their No. 200 pump gun for any 20-gauge shell up to 3-inch!?!



The No. 345 survived into the J. Stevens Arms Co. years, last appearing in their 1923 catalog, but not on their Jan. 2, 1924, price list.
