Doubt that top one could be had with a small bucket either.

Bailey B says it changed somewhere around 50,000. Probably true. I have 387xx s.n. underside and 778xx s.n. front. The early one has separate rear sight, the later has molded rear sight. The magazine release changed also. I don't think Bailey and Carr's books/info disagree, Bailey's has newer/additional information. Kinda like Murray and Royal.

Here are my four. Clockwise 380 cal 1917 Mod #2 date 1921... 32 cal 1907 Military with holster...32 cal 1917 non factory engraved w/target sight?...32 cal 1907 mod#1 date 1919. The lanyard ring is not correct. I had a friend put one on, but if there is any way to get an original, let me know. I sent Mr. Murray a picture of the engraved one and he said nice but not factory.

That would make for a great New Years celebration! Or 4th of July. I've always wanted to attend a cannon meet, but now I'm getting off topic again.

WWI Minenwerfers, 18-pound field artillery, Bren Carriers, Savage pistols, what's the difference? They all go BANG and can put the fear of god in someone! (Oh for the chance to joy ride in a WWII Bren Carrier! Must've been a hoot to careen across the Northern Desert or Europe in one of those, except of course for Germans shooting at them...)

[quote=Longbeardking Note the small 10 round boxes of ammo in these pistol boxes...pretty rare items! Thanks for posting Steve. I stopped at the old Savage plant on the way home from one of the Savage Fests that was at Jed's. I think the original Savage plant still stands somewhere on the other side of town. It was on the Erie Canal. Did you go to/find it?

Yes, as far as I know it is still standing and occupied. No I did not get to go to it, but that is in the the future. I spend a good deal of time out there.
