I own a clearly imprinted 1899 in 300 Savage. All the serial numbers match.
It is a take down model. Based on the serial number, some of the smarter fellows here tell me that it is a G model built in 1922.
The discussion that produced this info should still be available with a little searching.


Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.
