Guys, thanks for all the questions. I am putting the sale on hold until I can get a letter for this rifle. You all are asking all the right questions. The serial number on the receiver, butt plate and stock under the plate all match and are 73xx. I am not trying to deceive any one and hope it did not come across as such. Am going to let this one fall to the back for now until I have a letter for this rifle. Thanks again.

Listing an extremely collectible Savage model 1895. Manufacture date shows to be 1897 in the database I used. There are believed to be less than 8000 of these produced before the switched to the model 1899, and have become VERY rare. This gun has the scarce round barrel, rotary magazine WITH the rare unfired round counter on the side, and is in very good condition for being 115 years old. Has some bluing loss on the bolt, wood is in very good condition along with other metal.

Please let me know if you are interested and I will take more pictures of everything.

Blue Book Description:
.303 Savage cal. only, lever action, mfg. in either carbine (22 in.), rifle (26 in.), or musket (30 in.) variations, round (scarce) or octagon barrel that has Marlin proofmark under the forend, open top, solid breech, side ejecting, 6 shot rotary mag., some had unfired shots indicator. Originally mfg. by Marlin, marked "Savage Repeating Arms Co. Utica, N.Y. U.S.A. Pat. Feb. 7, 1893", approx. 6,000 mfg. 1895-99, early models had hole in top of bolt - later ones were smooth. Values assume rifle configuration - add a 150%+ premium for the carbine (rare) and musket (rare) and for unfired shots indicator

$1400 SHIPPED to you. It is an antique. NO trades.
