Front sight base is the long integral base from the mid-20’s.

Stock and barrel appear to be from 1920’s.. forearm even has a different serial number, with the receiver serial stamped lightly as well.

I would guess a factory restock/rebarrel. Maybe even engraved later? Tue was still there, who’d be able to tell?
Can't speak to this rifle specifically, but after perusing the new Savage Engraving Book it is very clear that many embellished rifles do not fit squarely into any catalog template.
Lots of variations in engraving, checking, pieces and parts.
As always, do your homework, buyer beware and buy it or not.
As others have said many times, never say never....
