There is not a lot of info written on the Model 19's. From what I have pieced together the 19 Target Hornet is designed like the 19 Target in .22LR but serialed as part of the Model 23 centerfires.

The .22 Hornet was added to the 23's around the middle of 1932. The first were D&T'd with two rear mounting for the Savage #10 peep sight. This was changed to three holes around 1935 for the #15 sight. I have 205,0xx with two holes. Please advise of the number of holes in your rifle.

The 19 Targets were D&T'd for mounting blocks use with a long target scope, two holes on the barrel and two of the holes for the rear peep sight. I think most were also D&T'd on the left side for the Weaver S or T side mount.

Given that these rifles were Serialed with the 23 centerfires it is hard to tell how many were made. I don't it was many.
