%DETAILS% Answer Riverside was a second-tier gun by Stevens. Fit & finish may have a little rougher than those with the company name, but still a well-built utility shotgun. I don't know what the "1902" is.
If it is a single-shot, value would be in the range of $50-$75, or a double would bring $150-$200. Of course, if it is not worn out/broken/rusted it is worth next to nothing and if like new it could bring more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
