I have found three model 820b 12 gauges that were sold at auction. The true value of any item is whatever someone is willings to pay. All 3 sold for an identical $150. The market seems to be steady!!
The Savage 820 model is an older gun that was made long before the current accessories. No one ever made any after-market accessories for this model, it is not noted the year of manufacture.
Not unless you do it poorly. It's not a collectable firearm, so it's value is in it's utility, not it's originality.
Try e-gunparts.com, local gun shop, gun shows, want ads. or numrick they have schematics along with the parts list.
Your Stevens Model 820B in 80% condition would probably fetch $80.00 to $100.00 at the right time. Most of the Stevens 22 calibers and shotguns were considered utility guns and do not hold a great attraction for the serious collector. They are a fine product with a long and proud history. Hang on to your J. Stevens Arms and Tool Co. firearms. They will serve you well and when they need repairs the parts are available widely and at very reasonable cost.
