Bill: There are two Davenport guns at the top of this 1897 Sears catalog, and are similar to those in the 1898 and 1900 catalogs

They clearly have a different receiver/barrel profile so I suspect your gun must be the earliest model.
Here's a 1904 Davenport, with the barrel release lever on the right like yours, but again a different receiver profile
Even if the gun has a serial number, there is no record of date of production
