I'm helping a friend with a few estate items and this gun turned up. It is serial number 32xxx, full round 25" barrel, crescent butt. I think it is a 99A made in 1903 according to my Savage book. It is in 30-30 winchester, no extra holes, no missing pieces. The receiver has no bluing, the barrel is better, a couple of nicks in the crown. The bore got a good scrubbing today and shows promise. There is a big chip at the tang and a hairline wrist crack. Can't think of any other essentials, please look at pictures and advise me as to value and if this gun is best left alone or should it be restocked/repaired. Hunter vs collector etc. Thanks RP
