Stevens 311s were made from 1926-1945.
Later Stevens (1949-1970) had a Date Code. It was a Capital letter with a number in a small circle. It is located between the hinge pin and trigger guard.
There were lots of models some fancier and more valuable. For the base model, from the Standard Catalog of Firearms, 2009:
"Model 311A-Hammerless Boxlock
NIB Exc. V.G. Good Fair Poor
$925 525 450 350 250 200"
You can try the 'Historian' however since the records have been lost he is unlikely to have them. Your $20.00.
