Beautiful for a factory rifle. The charging buffalo look a little goofy but what do I know?

This thread is just for the letter grades of engraving listed in the catalogs, A-G. I don't know if I have enough pictures to do all the named grades. Fug and I actually didn't spend all that much time talking about his engraved rifles, we were having a blast going through odd guns (never say never really takes hold!), old paperwork and artwork a lot of the time!

Here's an example of a receiver that's matted, which was a catalogued option. Could also get it with various grades of engraving. I love these matted receivers.. can't imagine how much work it took to do it. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1830/41045172150_4d40c856d0_b.jpg)

This one I need Fug to explain to me.. It looks like B engraving (Leader Grade), but a moose rather than a deer. It's gorgeous, just not a catalogued version that I'm familiar with. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/879/28983279368_ce5754eeef_b.jpg)

That collection is awesome. I seen one of those highly engraved Savages once, around 2006. A gun had it in a gun sock in Fredericksburg, VA. Not selling. Just had it. Fugg is a great guy and greatly contributes to this forum. Without his input, like these pictures, the value of this site as a educational tool would diminish. You get any pics of that T in 22HP?

A little off the Maine subject, the moose rifle engraving looks much like the Lion rifle. I think that rifle may live in Kansas? Would like to see more pictures of it as well as what the letter said?

We have some cougars (2 and 4 leg) in Kansas but no Lion Rifle, that I know of.

Rick
The rifle I am thinking of sold on gunroker plain wood and I believe it came out of Michigan , In some postings of savage fest pictures I saw the rifle again so it at least was owned by a member here? I thought it was yours.
