Listed below is history of the two companies, which will help explain this article.

Stevens Armswas anAmericanfirearmsmanufacturer founded by Joshua Stevens in 1864 inChicopee Falls, MA. The company introduced the.22 Long Rifleround and made a number ofrifle,shotgun, and targetpistoldesigns. By 1902 they were advertising themselves as 'the largest producers of sporting arms in the world'. They were purchased byNew England Westinghouseon May 28, 1915 and again bySavage Armson April 1, 1920. As a subsidiary division of Savage, Stevens continued to produce firearms at their Chicopee Falls facility until 1960, but in a semi-independent status until 1942 . That plant was torn down in1960 and the Stevens production was moved into other Savage facilities. Savage dropped the Stevens name in 1991 but revived it in 1999 and still uses it today for a number of its low cost rifles and shotguns.

This merger made Savage the largest producer of arms in the United States at the time.

Savage Arms was founded in 1894 byArthur Savage inUtica, New York. Within 20 years they were producing rifles, handguns, and ammunition. Savage introduced the first hammerless lever-action rifle, theModel 1895, derived from Arthur Savage's Model 1892 rifle that he had designed forColt in a failed bid for a US Army rifle contract that instead was won by theKrag–Jørgensen design. The Model 1895 won aNew York National Guard contract, but the contract was cancelled due to political controversy.

Savage was one of six companies to participate in the United States Army trials for a.45 caliber semi-automatic pistol, and was named one of the two finalists before losing out toColt's design, which would become theM1911 pistol. Savage marketed a series of.32 and.380 caliberpocket pistols, theModels 1907, 1915, and 1917 based on the same patents as their .45 caliber prototype.

Savage merged with theDriggs-Seabury Ordnance Company during World War I and producedLewis machine guns at Driggs-Seabury's former plant inSharon, Pennsylvania.Savage also producedModel 1899 muskets for the Montreal Home Guard during World War I.

In 1919, Arthur Savage was approached by Chief Lame Deer to buy rifles for his tribe in New York. Lame Deer offered to allow Savage to use his image as its logo in exchange for discounted rifles and an annual fee. As of 2018, Savage Arms was still paying the annual fee.

In 1920, Savage boughtStevens Arms ofChicopee Falls, MA. In July 1921, a mortgage securing five promissory notes, each for $21,416, was filed in the County Clerk's office inUtica showing that the Savage Arms Corporation had purchased a 'number of buildings erected by the government' duringWorld War I for increasing the output of Lewis machine guns at the plant. The notes were due in 1927. In 1929 Savage acquired the A.H. Fox Gun company ofPhiladelphia and moved production to Utica. Also in 1929 Crescent Arms was bought by Savage Arms Corp.

In 1939, Savage introduced theModel 24combination gun (a configuration uncommon in the U.S.), which sold over a million copies.

Savage was one of the few American makers of affordable double-barrel shotguns including theFox Sterlingworth, Fox Model B, and Stevens Model 311 and produced rifles and shotguns under house brand names for large store chains.

CRESCENT F. A. CO. Norwich, Connecticut
The company made good quality inexpensive single and double-barrel shotguns at its Norwich works, beginning about 1892. It was bought by H&D Folsom of New York City, large importers and distributors of firearms and sporting goods, so they could add an American-made sidelock hammer, side-by-side to their extensive range of imported guns. The Crescent guns were offered in 12, 16, 20, and 28 gauges and later, 44XL shot caliber with Damascus twist laminated or Armory steel barrels depending on the shooter’s wants.
It was merged with Davis-Warner Arms Corp. successors to N.R. Davis & Sons Co. and became Crescent-Davis Arms Corp. Crescent Arms was bought by Savage Arms Corp. in 1929. In 1932 the operation was moved to the Stevens plant at Springfield, Mass. where some sidelock doubles were assembled, Crescent-Davis brand guns remained in Steven’s full line catalog until 1941 but from 1937 to 1941 the doubles sold in the Crescent-Davis brand were on either Stevens or Davis boxlock frames.
