I would be interested in knowing if the 410 barrel has a one line address or a two line address. My theory is that the early 410 barrels had the one line address and the two line address came later.
This is the same cased set we talked about last week, Jaaack.
Very nice snag. It's a beauty, and looks all correct to me. Unfortunately the ledgers aren't going to give out more information for most cased sets than what yours did, very few are recorded as being part of a set. The fact it's a very early 99G in 300, it's a very early case, and it's an early 410 and they are all in similar condition makes me think they've been together since 1921.
Kind of cool it's a Halloween set.
And thanks for sharing the info from Cody. We do have a very few 99's in 300 Savage lower than yours, but 1921 was a really screwed up year and no telling when they were accepted from the factory without lettering them. I don't think we've seen the 235,9xx rifles.
Of note is that Callahan once told use the very first 99G in the ledger was at 236,461. He never clarified if that was the earliest date or lowest number, but he usually went from earliest date from what we've seen.
Some of the early 99's in 300 Savage (and the first 99G according to JTC). Obviously yours is very low in the dataset.
234,22x 99F 300 Sav
234,71x 99B 300 Sav
236,461 99G 250-3000 (1st 99G according to JTC)
236,909 99G 300 Sav
236,95x 99G 300 Sav 10/13/1921
238,010 99G 300 Sav Combo Kit
The earliest ads for the 300 Savage that I've ever found were in magazines in September, 1921. Like this one. They are still using the artwork from the early 250-3000's, as you can tell from the perchbelly.
