Blue Book shows production at 16,000 40's and 6,000 45's. production years are listed as 1928-1942. Given the above and some sales figures I have I would guess that the production of your rifles was around 1934...?
Your rifle would have shipped with the standard Savage sling eyes.
PS...the catalogs list the stock change as 1935. I would guess that only about 1/4 of the 45's would have been in the later style.
