Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors 1902 catalog prices for sights & some etc's

David, I was fortunate to get a very large collection of Savage catalogs at an auction several years ago, since then I have lucked on to all the ones I new of that were missing from 1902 up to the 1970's. As you probably have noticed I am not afraid to flatten them out on a scanner - let me know what you might need, Wyoming is not that far away by email.

The prices of the engraving posted above show all the ones where there ware changes from 1905 to 1924 (1924 is not shown, it was the same as 1922).

The last catalog I acquired was a 1904 pocket catalog that was missing the cover, a page of which is posted above. It took scans from 2 other rough & damaged copies & a lot of photo editing to put together the reprints for the Fest.

That's great Gene. I would like everything to do with engraving and special features at least before WWI. I think scanning all that is going to be a monumental task. I don't need them soon or all at once. I also don't need pages that are repetitions from earlier catalogs. Whatever and whenever you can work on it will be greatly appreciated.
Rick the plan is to cover all the things you suggested.

Here is a page from the 1904 pocket catalog (from the content describing the 1904 World's Fair I would say it was from late 1904) with a note at the bottom that I found very interesting -


I had never heard of a catalog like that before and even wonder if they really did issue one, the 1905 catalog came out shortly after this & it had extensive information on engraved guns so it would seem a special catalog then would not have been needed. .. so who's had a copy tucked away that they haven't told use about?
