You can see that the engraving around the serial number is sized to fit the 5 digit number on the gun, that suggests to me that the engraving had to be done after the serial number was stamped and I would not think Savage had dealings with Marlin engravers at that time as Julia's description seems to suggest by mention "typical of one of Marlin’s engravers, probably Ulrich".
