There are plain ones. I've often wondered how they were treated to prevent rust. I may have one. Will post if it's notable.

Calhoun, here are the pictures you requested: http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/novitch4Golden28ga/Library/The 250 Savage is from 1948 and has the obviously thinner forend and more circular cartridge counter window when compared to the 1951 Savage 300 with the thicker forend and oval cartridge counter window. I think the pictures also show pretty well the steel cartridge counter on the 1951 versus brass on the 1948.

Good pics! Definite difference. Thinking it's time to start gathering serial numbers and narrow the range down as much as possible.

To the top...
Change of thin forearm schnabel on EG's and roundish cartridge counter window, to a heavier schnabel and oblong cartridge counter window.
We have 516,xxx still having the thin schnabel. Anybody with higher number 500,000 serial number EG's can check to narrow it down?

Interesting. I have a 57 EG in 300 and has the same front ramp as your 38 and 46.
