As far as I'm concerned it has a prewar or immediate postwar receiver. I say that because the back of the scallop underneath the Savage name terminates in a radius and not in a v-shape like every other postwar receiver I've seen. The blue looks pretty spot on to me too. For the forearm ring, I'm fine with the blue aging differently than it would on the steel used for the receiver. But, the front sight and receiver do not coincide with the offset Savage marking. Is it a bastard of parts??? Is it something that was sent back to the factory for a major overhaul??? ???...
