Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors I have this "opportunity" to

Actually, I think I've seen Rick call it the style 1-A2.

So here's a standard Style 1 address as in Murray's with a last date of Oct 3, '99 and curlies that are staggered rather than straight above each other:




Here's a pic of the more common stye 1A that I've seen, this is a picture 99trix posted up a few years back. Last date of 1893 and still has the staggered curlies at the end of the line. I've had a couple of these.




This is the style 1A2, or 1B.. whichever. First one I remember seeing in person. It has the Oct. 25, 1893 date but has 3 dots at the beginning and end of the top line to space the curlies out so they are directly above each other. Very similar to the 1895 address, but says Savage Arms rather than Savage Repeating Arms. It's on an early rat of an 1899A SR which has a funky sling stud band that's around the barrel. Serial number is 10.800'ish.
