serial #152427, 30-30, 22'' round barrel with a bright excellent bore. This 1914 production rifle features wonderful factory ''D'' grade engraving which features panel scenes depicting a bison on left side and a tiger on the right. Both scenes are surrounded in wonderful relief scroll with very finely stippled background and the engraving covers the top of the chamber and extends onto each side of the belly. There is additional engraving on the forend takedown collar and the breech end of the barrel. The condition of the rifle is excellent with the barrel retaining 97% original blue and the action perhaps 95% with just light thinning accounting for the loss. The lever shows lots of vivid original color case hardened finish overall. The top of the action to rear of bolt shows original factory holes for mounting a tang sight, there are two additional, smaller holes which are neat with filler screws present.1F The pistolgrip stock and schnabel tipped forend feature ''B'' style flame checkering and are of beautifully figured English walnut showing rich color. The buttstock features a period, a likely original, solid red rubber pad which fits beautifully and looks to have been in place since the beginning. The stocks rate very good plus to excellent with lots of original finish and perhaps a bit of added light finish with checkering remaining strong and stocks show the few expected handling marks. There is a finely checkered panel on top of the wrist along with finely checkered cheek panels. The rifle is sighted with a low profile blade front sight mounted in integral ramp along with a Marbles folding leaf rear sight. A very fine and honest high grade factory engraved Savage takedown rifle for the astute collector. (1F11759-2) {C&R} (12,000/18,000)
