This 1902 vintage SR has A5 checkering, some figure in the wood and the unmarked steel rifle BP, serial #37.7xx. Savage started putting early Indian head on the rifle BP's a few years later.

and now the well used one, 1899 production, serial #10.7xx. The guy I got it from said he got it from a Sweetwater County, Wy., sheriff's sale. That's what the sticker on the stock is about. It must have belonged to a criminal. Not many of criminals here in Wyominggrin

this rear sight filler showed a lot of handiwork. He probably had time to kill between crimes
